Even with proper size descriptions it's hard to get what you want. I have a 36" arena, a XXL turbo, a L and XL aussie bum, an XL Caussie. They are all over the place.
That's true about buying cloths online. It's a role of the dice the first few times. I only buy my kids one kind of suit and it was easy. Once they out grew one size, get the next one up! Wish it was that easy for me.

Sizes on some web sites
Quote:
Some web sites like international jock list the side seam length. However, other web sites like Swimoutlet do not. But you are right that even with descriptions, its hard get the size correctly.

I suspect a chain such as Dick's Sporting Goods makes very little money on swimsuit sales (compared to what they make on overpriced athletic shoes/sneakers, sportswear, etc.), so they just offer a few basic Speedo and TYR 'briefs' to satisfy the general public. And the general public is not focused on whether the suit has 2.5" or 3" sides. Swim Outlet mainly supplies team swimsuits - and again, I don't think most male members of swim teams really care if the sides are 2.5" or 3" - they will just order a 'brief' suit or 'jammer' suit according to personal taste or desire. Members of this web site, however, are certainly focused on the difference in appearance between a 1.5", 2", 2.5", or 3" suit, but I suspect that focus is related more to aesthetic desires rather than swimming functionality. That's why we visit this board - to trade info on what suits have what size side seams so we know what will 'suit' us!
