Salutations!
 

30, gay and from that state up in the Northwest somewhere, USA. I've had the bulge-watcher's curse since early youth, when at the YMCA, I would perhaps stare a bit too long at all manner of crotches in creation in the locker room. I couldn't explain it at the time. Just wow.

Mix in Super hero/villain costumes (why, hello, Venom!), watching pro-wrestling and the advent of online pornography coming at a very important age in a person's life, and you get one major spandex and latex fixation (read: fetish).

I encourage every man to own at least 2 pairs, if not for aesthetics, but practicality reasons (I don't need to list 'em; we all know). My bf has let me know that this is a thinly veiled attempt to get all pervy, but I'm still right...

-7-

Welcome 7, it is ok to be yourself here, to enjoy skintight stretchy fabric for living or sport. To feel the water sliding over your body without drag, and to catch a glimpse of other swimmers as you turn and swim back.

I also want to get into making super-hero and geeky themed speedos/undies/gear for the sex positive geek/convention go-er/cosplayer. something a bit better fitting and feeling than the usual fair that consists of a pair of tighty-whitey looking briefs with some sort of logo.

Can you sew and do you have access to sewing machines and overlockers?

several! My bf was collecting the things because he works on the damn things, so I have access to ones that are real work horses. Also, 2 surgers. I am learning more and more how to sew with each garment that I make. Kind of working up to what I want.

Have you seen the Stitchboy men's swimwear patterns?
If not would you like to?

Guess you are in USA, an overlocker is called surger out there.

I have Stitchboy's saved page from "way back machine" in my bookmarks!, though, whenever I click on their "directions" pages for each pattern, they seem to not show. If you have them... please send!

From what I've been told, an overlock can do cover stitches, which isn't standard in most surgers.

Have sent you a private message, to enable sending Stitchboy patterns.

Hi TorchWatch. You seem to have an amazing knowledge of how trunks and lycra kit is made etc. Do you know where I could get some custom kit fitted and made? Thanks!

What is it that you would like made.
I can make Lycra stuff using domestic machines and the stretch fabrics that are available for sale. The results are a handmade rather than a manufactured look as everything is prototype.
The Chinese are able to manufacture and mail swimwear more cheaply than I can buy the fabrics and elastic, let alone mail you the finished item, so make sure it is something special or different that you want made.
Private message me an email address and will return you the Stitchboy Patterns and photos of stuff I have made.
