What's up with these suits I bought on ebay

[Byron]

Seems quite possible - any comment on Skippy saying "rippled"?

(and should I expect the word along the back leg seam - or were there
several designs for Endurance briefs* over the years?)

*I mean brief as in brief swimsuit - I have to remember that in the US
briefs are underpants, and have been caught out many times on that in researching small speedos.
(I can clearly see that these have Thai cords of course)
