My goodness Joe - there is a joke expression "confusion reigned and they all got wet"!

1. I would agree that the yummy Guard as first shown on the bodyboard with the white shirt and red suit is likely to have a 1.5" sideseam. I made no assessment of the speedo manufacturer however and I have already said this is a common product with no visible clues and an unhelpful photo in that particular prone position.

2. I only said TYR for the diver in red making an adjustment in the broken drawstring thread because that is what it is and was intended to give you an idea of appearance and what might be available (amongst many other briefs) for your purchase - although in that particular pic the diver is likely to be wearing more that 1.5" on his suit's sideseam I would guess.
There was no recommendation for TYR (nor any other as better suggestions might come about from the experience of other members) - although I did like the style of the Marcuse, even at greater cost, which happened to show up when searching red brief speedos.

Btw, Sebbie submitted a TYR chequered design - not polka dot.
