How about Neptune Scepter?
I love my Union Jack briefs

I'm also currently based in Italy, working here until next year. So this throws particularly interesting to me as I will also be looking to purchase a swim brief that I can take home to remind me of my time here! Love the Neptune Sceptre option!

Thank you for the suggestions thus far! I've already gotten one vote privately for the Zumo, and also a suggestion to add Budgy Smuggler's new Italy briefs to my list of potential suits. Unfortunately, the Smugglers' website says the fabric isn't good for regular use in a heavily chlorinated pool, so I think I'd destroy them pretty quickly. :/

Here's what they look like anyway:



Red^^Speedo, that is a beautiful suit and I love the color, but it is not lined which is a little concerning to me if I were to use it at my uni's pool.

Also, underwearphil, I actually gave the Neptune Scepters special mention in my original post as being too skimpy for my purposes, and they too are unlined which concerns me greatly as they have a white front! Again, they are beautiful suits and I love the Union Jack one that you bought yourself, but I think they are too revealing in size and [potentially] transparency for me to wear at a relatively conservative university's pool. (I don't think I'd have the balls to wear them either way.)

SpeedoBear76 I look forward to hearing what you decide on too!

somehow the blue color seems out of place on most of these, like seeing green or yellow on a USA brief. A proper brief should be green a bright orangish-red and white

Sebbie, I agree which is why I'm also asking for other suggestions too if you have any! The Zumo and the Q Swimwear's Italy 2.0 are probably the least-blue of my original list.

That being said, I cannot deny how beautiful the blue is on the Q Swimwear Italy briefs!

I can understand your concern about the Neptune Scepter briefs. I, at first, needed to pluck up courage to wear them in a public pool in London on the first occasion. However, as I mentioned in another post, I received a lot of positive comments. The material is very silky and smooth, very comfortable, but it is quite thick. The design holds quite tight at the front so you are not going to show off an enormous bulge. I know the Union Jack design does not have a big white panel at the front, but I do not feel that mine go transparent. Go on, invest in a pair of Italy briefs, I think that you would be pleasantly surprised! I think your fellow swimmers in the university pool will be appreciative - and envious!
Have looked at the Budgie Smuggler briefs, and I am not too sure about the design at the back, the rear looks even less like the Italian flag than the front - and do you want an enormous "Budgie Smuggler" printed across your buttocks?
I look forward to hearing about your final decision - post a pic of you posing in your Italian colours! Good Luck!

I don't mind the blue. It's the color of the national football (soccer) team. They're even referred to as Gli Azzuri (The Azure). And it does go well with the red-white-green tricolor too.

Nunzio Miano swim briefs may be worth a look. He's an Italian designer now based out of Austrailia. His suits have very eye catching designs and definitely emit an Italian vibe.
I recently bought a pair off EBAY. Although I haven't tried them out in the pool yet (not quite warm enough here in KY) they appear very well made and the fit is very nice.
