Hi there.
Sorry to hear of the problem that you have with your NS pouch front. Yes, I think I can see how the stitching is exposed, even on a low resolution picture. Lets hope that you do get some satisfaction from the manufacturers. I have checked my two NS suits (including the UK flag suit) to look at the construction and I reckon that there must be a fault in your suits manufacture. (I am sure that you have not been stretching the pouch too much with numerous erections!)

Yes, I am in London and I do remember Intersparta - in fact I had a pair of swim briefs from them many, many years ago. They used to do small ads in the weekend newspapers and provided a mail catalogue. I have not heard, or seen anything of them for many years so I assume that they no longer trade. I have gone into the UK government official "Companies House" that registers all businesses and keeps record of directors etc. and Intersparta does not exist. However Intersparta might have just been a trading name for someone else. The domain www.intersparta.co.uk is already registered and seems to just direct to other swimwear providers.
In short, it does not look as though Intersparta trades anymore or manufactures mens swim briefs.

Good luck

Phil

Intersparta of Bristol, Uk, issued their last catalog in 2010. They went out of business by 2012.

The folks at Neptune Scepter acknowledged the stitching anomaly and have offered me a significant discount on another suit as consideration for my dissatisfaction for the one sent. Considering returning a suit to Taiwan is in neither of our's best interest, I feel that is a proper step to buyer satisfaction. They also have added a stitch inspection step to their QC process. I cannot be more satisfied.

A pair I have just bought:

They're tighter than I'm used to, even though they're XL size. Haven't got round to wearing them at the local pool yet. Not entirely sure how they will stand up to the rigours of swimming laps.

Bede. I have a couple of pairs of Neptune Scepter briefs and regularly wear them when lane swimming at my local pool and have no problems with them. Just make sure that the waist string is well tied otherwise you might find that the briefs slip slightly when doing fast tumble turns. The material has stood up very well to a lot of swimming and does not appear to have been affected by either pool chemicals or sea salt.
