Default Check out these suits from Sportsdirect


I'm limited to 4 images but here's the jammers: http://s9.postimg.org/a6m5qtjsf/IMG_1531.jpg
What do yall think? The jammers are a slightly big but it's still good. I just have to make sure that the drawstrings are extra tight or else bad things might happen.
Thanks Torchwatch for the stitching and reshipping!

The orange suit with the cycle padding was entirely home made and experimental, I wasn't sure it would come out right and had trouble with sewing machine tension. What amazes me is that the colour really suits you and looks better on you than the navy blue factory made briefs and the jammers.
Nice pictures
All the items were size S, 30".

Would you be "brave" enough to do the triathlon in the padded briefs? They do look better on you than the jammers, and I could make a "perfect" pair now I know they work.

Could we see you in briefs with the cycle top?

I like the padded briefs as well. I think it looks good on me. I'm a bit concerned because the stitching and the drawstrings are sort of falling apart. I don't want my suit to fall apart especially in swimming. But I can still wear it.

I'm glad you like the orange padded suit and think you look rather good in it. It was an experiment to see if the design would work and would be practical for swimming, running and cycling as I have not made a triathlon brief before. The thread tensioner on the sewing machine was playing up while I made your suit, but it is corrected now, it won't fall apart, just looks a little odd. Also the stitching holding on the padding and around the waist should be in the same colour as the fabric of the suit, as it shows up too much.
Once you confirm that the triathlon briefs work in the shower, on the bike and while you run I will make a new perfect pair, you look good in orange but tell me should you prefer burgundy, turquoise, purple or black.
No charge.

Default The jersey doesn't fit

With that hot torso, why are you hiding it under an ill-fitting, baggy jersey?
