What's up with these suits I bought on ebay

[Byron]

To answer skippy's point I too am confused that separate companies still exist as Spedo GB and Speedo USA, although the brand is owned by the Pentland Group, headquartered in England.
What different and worldwide sub-contract arrangements are adopted by each I do not clearly know but I think there is an agreement not to trespass on each others' sales territories and it is highly likely that quality control standards of the resultant products are not co-ordinated.

I had better say here clearly that these are assumptions only on my part from what little I know as the Speedo Corporation is somewhat sensitive and litigious - and I readily accept herewith and unconditionally any amendments required to this post.

I seriousely checked on the pics skippy sent and notice that on one of the labels it says size 34 then australian sz 14 sz 34 in aussi sz is not 14 but 18 error on tab perhaps.

Now the more I look at the logo I think I bought Star Trek swim briefs,Glad to get rid of them.I did one of those well If I try them on today maybe I will like them better.....It didn't happen.

With the leg hole elastics holding the suit close to you and the crotch fabric hanging half way down to your knees there is no way you will get to like that suit however many times you try it on.
You see swim club kids in really worn out Speedos looking like that as they climb the steps out of the pool, water dripping everywhere and you guess that their mums really can't be bothered to buy them new kit.

One of many inaccuracies Louis.
Skippy is supposed to have two suits each 34".

Endurance sizing tag says GB34 but its store tag says GB30
The first one says Australia 14 and you say that should be 18
Under Australia 14 it says waist 80 - which contradicts France 85 above it
(metric is universal so one or the other is wrong)

Endurance store tag says GB30 and I would not disagree with France75
as the interpretation - this time we see nothing at all for Australia however.

In other words a complete Chinese dog's breakfast at the factory sewing machine I suspect !

I looked to see if the seller did the melt together with plastic tie that holds the store tag to the suit just to pass off as a new with tags.But it is professionally attached.Don't know if stores have a tool or machine that does that though.The suit would have to be around a 34" or 36" definitely not a 30" waist.The outside store tag is obviously wrong.
