Aussiebum 1.5 Classic arrived

[Bikiniman]

I have been wearing the AB 1.5 Loose Fit Wonderjock for years. The very thin nylon fabric holds up extremely well, the suits dries extremely fast and is very thin to pack so I take it on all my travels and business trips for my exercise swims.

The only sheer factor to be concerned with is the white suit with a sheer factor of 8/10, they indicate it is extreme....and it certainly is for a few minutes as you exit the water, but it too drains and dries very quickly.

I love the convenience and performance of these suits. I have received numerous compliments from both men and women about how they look on, and I have never had a complaint, even when in the white suit.

I re-ordered the same suit as I found with the last one, removing the label wasn't a good idea, as it left a small hole.
So I went to the pool this lunchtime, wearing the suit for only the second time.
I always find the worst place is the changing room, where everyone else wears shorts, but in that context, does it matter if you wear a 2 " brief or a 1.5" one? But once you hit the water, confidence is restored, and I must say it's a really comfortable suit to do some serious swimming in.

Anybody know how to determine an Aussiebum swimsuit is real or fake, without knowing it was purchased from ebay(China) or Aussiebum directly ?

Thanks!

Reading your thread on Speedoforum NJH the answers all coming to you seem to be ".....don't know but damned good if fake" - plus one falling apart at the seams (which I guess is learning rather late).
One eminently good suggestion was "ask AB" - but that came from you did it not?

Probably going to send Aussiebum an email !

The Pink Aussiebum which I always wanted was bought on Ebay, seller was from the U.S.
Very high quality. When comparing to a real bought directly from Aussiebum swimsuit side by side, couldn't tell the different!

[NJHunkguy]

No, e-mailing Aussiebum would not help. They can not tell unless they are holding the suit in the hands.

I observed the ebay suit from US seller, side by side, with a suit directly from Aussiebum. Every single details are exactly the same. And my Ebay suit actually has same, but more orderly stitchings!

Went to the local pool for the first time on a Saturday wearing the Aussiebum 1.5. Saturday is normally crowded with kids and families, and today was no exception. But - I walked straight from the changing room to the poolside full of confidence and did my swimming session.

I really don't think an untrained observer would notice the difference between a 1.5" and a 3 " brief. They're just briefs. Only the swimsuit connoisseur is really aware of the differences.

So that was the 'final test'. I've never been in another pool wearing them, but I don't foresee a problem. Well... unless I was in countries such as Saudi Arabia or the USA.

Good for you Bede! You're absolutely right, nobody would tell the difference between 1.5 and 3 inches and nobody would even care. And the fact that you had the courage to wear what you liked is the most important part.
