WOW that's a great looking suit and the perfect body to be wearing it.

I actually came across that one in my search! It's not the same, but similar so I may try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

The main difference (apart from not having a front seam) is that the back on the kiniki suit appears to cover a little less. I'm not opposed to it, but was hoping for something just slightly more modest in the back.

I found this and thought you might find it interesting:

It is a faux leather, string bikini/tanga style thong with metal studs. The front has a centre seam allowing for a pouched fit. A less metallic faux leather would be more like the photo and of course the studs are in the wrong place. If it had a bikini rear rather than a thong rear it would be very similar to your objective. Available in blue.
Hope you like.

I like the look/cut of them, but not sure about the studs down the sides - they would draw even more attention than the skimpy suit would already get! Looking for something that won't stand out *too* much on a clothing optional beach. Thanks for the suggestion.
