Hard speedo decision, need help

[louis]

Guys there is a brief style swimsuit I would like to buy but I need help to decide if I should buy it or not.
Here is a few details of the suit I mean, if you go to google search engin and type SwimOutlet.com you will see a picture of a swimsuit called sporty flags swim brief with would flags patterns on it, the price is $14.95, the item no. is SKU:SMPL002, you will see on the pic that the side seams look quite wide, so I emailed them to ask what the side seams were is inches, the responded that it was ABOUT 3 inches and a half side seams (3 1/2 INCHES)
I have never seen a suit that has 3 and a half side seams before,Iwonder if they really exist since they say ABOUT IT COULD BE THAT IT COULD BE 3 INCHES SIDES.
If they are really 3 inches and a half side seams then it would look to much like a square cut suit so I wouldnt buy it but if it was really a 3 inches sides then I would.
Im asking because perhaps someone did purchase this suit and perhaps could tell me if what exactly the side seams are in inches.
Its a very nice suit and Iv bene trying to find a suit with world flags on it for a long time, THE QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE SEEN SUCH A THING AS A BRIEF STYLE SUIT WITH 3 AND A HALF INCHES SIDES SEAMS BEFORE. THANKS.
