Back in the 80's, the Speedo manufacturer drifted into the casual wear arena with some tight fitting nylon suits with various patterns. These had very narrow sides. 3/4" and 1" depending on the suit. I still have a Speedo in brown ribbed nylon, a flat front suit with full back with draw string, but narrow sides. We sailed Lake Travis on the 25 Catalina for several years in that suit. Still put it on on occasion which bring backs fond memories on the lake.

I also had a Speedo suit with a zebra black and white pattern. They did do some animal prints but that is the only one I had. it is long gone. these suits were well made as Speedo did. After all, they were the leader in competition swimwear at the time.
