If you've got a pair of speeds you like use them as a pattern. I know someone on ebay who can do that for you.

This reminds me of when I was very young and I would ONLY wear Speedos as underwear. Genuine Speedos were getting expensive to use in daily rotation, so my mom took it upon herself to sew a pair for me using some swimsuit material. Personally, I preferred the real ones, but it was nice of her to support my interests. Haha! My fetish began way before swim team... :|

During a awful period at work I would spend much of the day fantasizing about quitting and starting my own swimwear company.

In my research, I came across this site...
