Aussiebum seems to be popular over most of the world except in Australia where it's based. Does anyone have any ideas why?

I'm right alongside you Beachie - doing my best to work the Aussiebums.

Bondiboy, ABs are relatively common at Ian Thorpe pool, Cook + Phillip and Victoria Park. Apart from the eastern suburbs beaches like Tamarama, I've seen a fair few burly blokes showing them off at at Manly and Shelley Beaches.

Got to keep your eyes peeled. And your swimmers if you get lucky.... :twisted:

I'm Australian and have tried aussiebum and other brands. To be honest, I'm not too impressed with the fabric Aussiebum uses - it's too loose and too thin. Maybe Aussiebum is ok for smaller/petite guys . I like nylon better.

I know in London, you see Aussiebum advertisements literally EVERYWHERE. The subway, bus stops, etc. And the only place I know where you can buy it is at John Lewis.

Seen a couple of guys in them near me, but they are not that common.
