Swim Shop Experience

[Captain.Jammer]

Excellent encounters, both of you.

And with these accounts, you have have given me a better answer to a question I posed on another thread-- I was asking how tight do you wear your suits, when I should have asked, how tight should suits be. Since I have never been a swimmer, and have never bought racer cut suits for that purpose (yes I do wear jammers), I never would have guessed to go a size smaller than your waist. Interesting. But those Speedo Axcel Spliced Jammers I posted a pic of the other day are like 2 sizes too small to my actual current waist measurement. (I don't like the way they 'dig into' my body being so tight, but it appears they should do that to some degree? At least one size smaller's worth.) I got them so I would have them (discontinued style) for when I lose the weight I plan to lose. I am hoping to get to a waist of 36 and I believe those are a 38. So one size bigger, not smaller. Oh well, now I know for future purchases.

What I am also amazed at is how you both could remember conversations so well! I am impressed, But then I have a horrible memory.

Thanks for sharing the experiences. Anyone else with something similar to share?

Of course if you are buying Asian swim briefs you need to upsize as they are cut rather small.

They can be VERY affordable, and some do look awesome... but I have never tried to get any because of my size.

I gave up on Asian suits a while back. The sizing is so screwed up and totally inconsistent. If they want to sell to the West, they should go with measurements and not S,M,L. Inches or Centimeters are always the same and you would have a chance of getting a suit that fits. I have a drawer full of suits that don't fit and even got stuck with a couple fakes. Like the pricing - quality ok, but suing sucks!

You can get the Asian suits in a bit higher rise that would cover your butt entirely. See this Seobean.
The XL is probably slightly larger than the US MED
Keith1178 is a good vendor on ebay. He imports these from China but is in the US so they arrive in a few days. I'm sure if you have size questions he would help you.
