Could you please confirm whether the logos Speedo+Speedo Swoosh and Endurance were embroidered or silk screen printed onto the suit.

I am suspicious about the way in which the red coloured trim at the sides have been overlocked together, the stitching is usually hidden on the inside of the suit. Speedo do sometimes overlock on the outside of a suit but always with the same colour thread as the underlying fabric. It seems strange and amateur to use white thread on red and navy sections of fabric. A garment factory completing Speedo contracts would have many overlockers each set up with the correct coloured thread and the worker would pass the garments on to another machinist.

This suit was made in Asia for the Asian market, the red white and blue theme may have been in "support" for London 2012, the sizing is Asian, size 36" in UK is L not XXL as stated.

My conclusion is that it may have been made under a Speedo contract and use the Endurance fabric but is a "grey import" into the USA.
