Slugger swimwear

Post by BJE » Fri Mar 02, 2018 10:16 pm

Does anyone here have Slugger swimsuits? They have four different cuts. I ordered three different styles in both small and medium. I will see what fits best then send back what doesn’t fit. They have a good return policy.

I ordered the Classic, Racerback and the DeeTees. I don’t like sungas.

I've been looking at their website too. Seems like the deetees would be closest to the briefs I already wear. Look forward to reading your comparisons.

Yep I’ve tried classics and racerback. Both medium, I wear medium to large AB for comparison. For some reason the racerback was a couple of inches bigger in the waist but still fits, it’s just really low slung. But not inappropriate, I’ve worn it on boat trips etc. The classic is bigger in the arse, so more comfortable fit and looks good if you have more of a gym build. Kind of enhances the roundness of your arse. I find it looks better on me than the racerback. High quality trunks, nicely made, strong material without tons of stretch. The front liner stops half way down so I kind of tuck my dick under and out, almost the opposite of an aussiebum wonderjock. So it makes for a fairly flat profile but doesn’t make you look small. Nice narrow sides, feels like between 1.5” and 2” AB. I like them. And they last really well. Impression I get is detees will be more like a normal Lycra swimming trunk.

I have the Racerbacks in a small - I’m normally 30”. Didn’t realise how low cut they were at the front. Back looks great but the front probs too revealing for the pool.

Liner is weird but works well.

Sluggers have an awesome Instagram page btw.

I’m a small in classic aB and some in medium. And I have a pair of XS racebacks. I tried the Deetee and there was too much material on the bum.

Tried S and XS in racerback and went with XS as the small also gave me a slight saggy butt. But like others said the front sits quite low. But not inappropriate.

I just hope I ordered enough styles and sizes to see what fits best. As far as being low on the front I like that. I like the top of the waistband to be about an inch above the base of my penis. An example of which you can see in my profile picture. You can’t really get much lower than that. That is also the reason I shave that area. I think it would look indecent having tufts of pubic hair sticking out above my waistband.

BJE,

Adam, the owner of Sluggers is a member of the forum, hopefully he sees this and can answer your question.

He is sending some 'samples' over to Kip and I here in Breck, when they arrive I'll be sure to review them.... inside and out.

Thanks for the heads up Dave! And big thanks for all the kind words, fellas.

Judging by your profile shot I think the best cut for you will be Classics or DEETEES.

Basically the cuts are for different body shapes.

On guys 5" 10' and under the Classics and Racerbacks really work. The thinner sides work proportionately. The Racerbacks are cut a bit lower and less fabric at the back so you don't need to pull them over your hips to get a good fit.

Classics have a little more length and fuller in the back for guys with a larger or rounder bum.

Don't worry about your dick - it'll fit. We have a lot of room in the gusset and front panel and the lining on our chlorine proof suits (Classics and Racers) is cut to give you room to move.

If you're long in the torso, tall or have a bit of a belly the DEETEES work well. I wear DEETEES or Classics depending on what I am doing. The wider sides give you nice proportion and the lycra in these cuts is High Chlo so they'll last for ages without losing their shape. These are great for the beach or pool.

Sunga is like a band across the middle.

It sounds a lot more complicated than it is, and it all makes sense when you try them on! Basically I was looking for a pair of swimmers that fit me, and I couldn't find any. They were either way too brief or looked like Grandpa's undies. Over the past three Summers the range has slowly expanded from one cut (Classics - made for me) to the Racers for guys with a small arse etc. Nobody else seemed to be doing it.

I noticed your order and said "We'll be getting most of these back!" which is the whole point of our return policy. Just make sure you put them on over clean tight undies!

Looking forward to hearing what cut works for you.

Thank you for your reply. I ordered the three cuts I like in the two sizes most likely to fit. I figured I’d order them all at once rather than one at a time and sending them back. It should save on shipping cost. Of course I’ll try them on over clean underwear.

I like low riding suits with narrow sides and good coverage in the back. My butt is rather lean and muscular without much fat so it’s hard for me to predict how they will fit in the back. I certainly don’t have a big bubble butt.

The racerback is the suit that appeals most to me but I’ll have to see how it fits. I hope that at least two or three will fit me. I really like the pink dragonfruit and the blue pineapples.

Here are pictures of how an Aussiebum WJ 1.5 loose size medium fits me.

Hey mate - those swimmers are way too big on you. Now that I have seen your shape I think you will dig our Racerback and DEETEES cuts. What size waist are you in inches? Or what size undies do you wear? I wear a L in Armani and Bonds (Aussie brand) and a Large in Sluggers. That's a 34 - 36 waist size.

My pant size is always 32”. In underwear I wear 32” or medium. In swim briefs I usually wear 32 or medium but I have a few 30’s which have enough stretch to fit.

I ordered my Sluggers in both small and medium figuring those were the most likely sizes to fit. Large I think would be too big and anything under small would be too small.

Yeah I think you're going to lean towards the small in Racerback and end up keeping the DEETEES as well :)

Before ordering some of each I was leaning toward the racerback since your description says they are cut for guys with lean, athletic builds and flatter bums. Which describes me better than solid blokes, rugby builds and round bums.

However, borrowing from your website I prefer the butt coverage of the classic over the racerback in this photo.

I am proud of the shape of the Classics when they fit right!

But yeah - Racerbacks or DEETEES will sit nicely on your arse.

I love love Sluggers. Amazing brand.

I have 1 Racebacks and 2 Deetees.

In the end though, I do like the Deetees more because of the fit/fabric. The fabric is just so comfortable to wear/touch.

I have a Racerback, Classic, and 2 Deetees. I also have found that I like the Deetees the best.
