White Speedo question

[frankjath]

I found this white Speedo on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-SPEEDO-MEN- ... 2a3990fed3 Do any of you guys own a white speedo? I love the look of it but I'm worried that it might be see through when wet. I've never seen the Speedo brand put a waist band like this on a Speedo maybe they only do that in foreign markets or this is a fake maybe?

I see a lot of unique looking Speedo's on Ebay that are from Thailand and I don't know if they are the real thing or not. Remember they have different products and licencees for different markets. I do have a white Speedo solar but that's strictly for posing not swimming, just incase!

Yea, same here--be cautious buying from china or anyplace like that on eBay. I have 2 white suits, the front is double lined, but the back is single making it 100% sheer when wet. I do wear them in my pool, but if I wear them to the beach, it would be to the nude beach right before they come off! haha

I was wondering about getting a white colored swim brief, but I don't know if its a good idea because they can become transparent when wet. Plus I dont really have the physique/tan to pull it off haha.

First off, Texas...you have a great body, I would kill to look half as good...FOR REAL!!! I'm not disgusting but definitely have body appearance issues.

Second. I just bought these....

and they are not see through...They are double lined both front and back so you are safe.

This thread is funny cause I've posted a thread about a White Square Leg suit that is for swimming laps that is not see through. I can't find any that are a good length..usually too short, and I don't want Jammer length. Anything resembling these are usually around 100 dollars and are some "exotic" brand like Emporio...I'm looking for a cheaper pair.

So did you buy the ebay suit?

I've never had a white suit. Maybe soon!

In my experience on ebay, Thailand is a great source. Lots of styles not available in America. I bought a couple speedo-brand suits and they seem authentic, with good quality. Just watch the sizes, which vary from NA. The cuts are different too, more like speedo suits from Europe. Even the non-name-brand suits I've gotten from Thailand are pretty cool... like Gabriel Homme.

China on the other hand... expect it to be a cheap knock-off! (My experience... your mileage may vary.)
