Speedo UK definitely still sells men's briefs with 5cm sides, which are as small or smaller than the current Speedo US Solar, which is at least 2 inch sides. Solar hasn't been 1 inch for years. I think the Solar is over-pouched, have to wear it down a size from any other Speedo I wear.
The Speedo trademark is licensed to totally different companies in the US and Europe. The European licensee has much better taste, in my opinion.
Speedo US is cracking down on retailers in Europe who will ship European Speedos to the US, but there are still some.
