I'll admit to over 50

Well over 100 suits, even still own a few paper suits that were available during the mid 80's until early 90's. Very seldom that I miss a day not wear a speedo for a couple of hours. Usually swim about 5 times a week and keep a year round tan.

wow, impressive numbers. I think I am in the 50-60 range but I divide them between two houses so it may be more. I have a hard time deciding what to wear at that number, how the heck do you guys with the 100's figure it out.... OMG.... I'd be too darn confused....

More than 120 last time I counted but time to sell a few I think and make a bit more space for some new ones. Just need to find time to put them on EBay.

agonswim's web site currently sells paper suits. Don't know if it's the same type of suit made earlier. They write "Paper is woven 79% polyester, 21% spandex, 150 grams per square meter -- this is our lightest fabric, designed for racing."

Welcome to the forum on your first day flightway.

Having looked at the post for keeping motorcyclists safe by such a well informed blogger in Wordpress's Wonderful World of Themes , I thought a search for speedos might prove equally fruitful and enlightening.

Sadly, nothing.

No, the agonswim paper suits are not the same - I bought one maybe 2 or 3 yrs. ago and did not like it. I still own a couple of the old paper suits from the 90s and even wore one at a meet a couple years ago!

Swimboy... I am jealous. My paper suits have long since gone to paper suit heaven. Bought a bunch when they ended. Awesome u still have some. They were the best, for look and for swimming races.... they just felt fast....

When I was a junior officer training airborne, Infantry, Artillery and Guided Missels I went to many club pools on base and wore a side zip trunk from an outfit called Parr of Arizona. There trunks fitted great when zipped up. They were low in the front but just above the ass crack in the back. I was in shape-6'2" 145lbs 28 waist and 42 chest. All of my work uniforms were form fitted cheaply at the laundry. Used to change uniforms during the training day so as to look sharp as a tack officer. Spit shine polished jump boots too. I can't remember anyone ever saying I looked provakative (sp) In my yellow Parrs (I had a great tan) Don't think the company is in business any more. Sexuality questions in those days were a none starter. We were all ,so damned busy working with recruits sending them off to get killed. There were guys that we referred to as asshole buddies but that just meant that we were best friends and might just snuggle up from the night cold while in a foxhole or pup tent. Sex was to a subject. You got to love your buddie because you see depended on him and he you. Don't Ask Don't Tell was one of the stupidest things that ever came to be and so uneccesary. You took guys they way they were as long as they did their job!
