why do hot guys wear 3-4 inch speedos?

LOL - that got me going and I first of all have to correct myself with coZZie for swimsuits in Oz . Caussie is nowhere defined but I suspect a little wordplay is being tried by AB's Marketing Dept. so that the new word might become iconic for the brand, as with speedo over the years . Also an emphasis on "Made in Australia" is important - Speedos are not any more and we know only too well how competitive Chinese brands are also entering the market in abundance.

Forget all I said Dorcas. I have never heard of them but Louis reminds me that Caussie exists as a separate Australian brand in nylon suits ,with a different logo - and are based in Brookvale (northern suburb of Sydney).
As penance I must at least give the link for anyone interested: http://www.caussie.com.au

The linked swimsuit reminds me of the nylon suits from high school but less on the sides. Also reminds me of the 100% Morona(sp) bikini underwear Target used to sell.

Byron: The nylon suits are great =light weight and very fast drying as opposed to some. This is also true of short short boxer trunks. When I wear the trunks I use a jock or thong. I do not wear briefs for work or hanging out especially if I'm in rough sailing weather on a hot day. I have to have pockets for tools and on the docks too. I find that briefs chafe the groin area in hot weather so I wear loose fitting boxers to keep my junk cool. I will at times for a motorcycle run wear briefs under shorts so I can take a swim in a pond etc. while en route on a hot day. I just remount and run with the suit until it dries which doesnt take long- pull off and continue on commando. Just spread your legs and let in the breeze

Wow - the swimming/biking/drying/commando sequence brings back youthful memories - though in my case I had the pedalling kind of bike , so not quite the same exhiliration I guess (not to mention so few suitable (pun intended) days available in the summer in our climate).
Speaking of which I am curious about bikers and their gear when riding in a hot-weather state like CA. From what little I have seen from movies they would likely get very warm and uncomfortable if fully leathered-up - or does speed alone provide the required ventilation?

Byron: California is a big long state-a big range of temps. Leathers protect the body-even from the heat of the bike engine-great to put on chaps bareass and ride the seat over a towel, For leather guys just put the gear over your upper body with no other clothes. The most comfortable suit all round for me is a Gazell-100% cotton-not made any more damit. I also had some onion skins from IM but were stolen out of my locker and I later saw a guy working out wearing them! Did'nt quite dare to say anything in the busy gym besides he looked great in them.

Byron, wow, just new to this thread and I'm way impressed with the pictures you posted throughout, as well as turning me on to yet another Australian manufacture of hot swimwear! You're a wellspring of knowledge (and hot tumbler pictures!)

As far as the original post, I think the two gents in their wider side seamed suits look perfectly hot. Sometimes it's nice to show a little less skin! Depending on the guy's definition, his butt or abs, it could even be a more flattering cut. My boyfriend doesn't really think he looks good in anything with less than a 2" side seam. He finds it cuts him weird across the back. The larger side seam hits him at his narrowest spot and makes him look leaner. So there is that!
