Marcuse Swimwear

[newspeedo]

Hey all, on the hunt again and I found this brand I hadn't seen before. It's called Marcuse and it's from Australia.

I'm attaching some pics and wanted to know what you all think. I don't want to make the mistake I did with the Aqux and get something, which is really not suitable even for a gay beach.

The first one is probably too risque but the second?

Yeah, that first one is a bit low cut (that maybe why they call it "Arrest Me"). I like the second one though.

I also like this one. I like the combination of yellow and gray.


I like that they offer free shipping anywhere in the world for orders over $50 and then all but one suit are priced $49.95

I think the second one is a pretty sweet suit. I like it

Hi all! I actually bought both suits in size XS but they were actually a bit too small, if you can believe that. The waists were slightly small but the butts were definitely too small so I exchanged them for size S and will let you know how they fit when they get here in like a week!

The model's butt cheeks look like they are being flattened a little in that rear pic.

How did they fit you in front? Looks like theyre cut as low as the Aquxes.

Is the tab in the back a loop to hang them up??

Hrm... what detailed questions, Justin!

In front they were as low as the Aqux I guess. I didn't take any photos unfortunately. However, the other Japanese suits I have also fit pretty low so I wouldn't say that was a big issue (for me at least).

The suit with the white stripes is definitely SLIGHTLY bigger, though in terms of not being cut as low and the rear is a bit fuller but with XS they were both too small, really.

Nonetheless I kinda agree that the back isn't cut as perfectly as I'd like. I just hope the S works out a little better for me.

As far as the loop? I mean I don't think it has a "purpose" per se. But yeah I guess you can hang it to dry.

One last thing is that the material is A+. It's not like anything else I have. It's kinda thin and slippery but also stretchy. I personally like it a lot. It's also a little shiny... not intentionally shiny, but it gives off a little bit of light.

Anyway I can't wait to get the new ones in the mail- they're really cool suits!

Maybe I better get a life! LOL!!

And thanks for the reply! I really like the way you describe the fabric. I have a JM suit and a really rare (they dont make them anymore) Meba suit from Spain that has fabric like that. The JM suit is a 30 and I should have got a 28. It's really thin and stretchy and has that surface quality. Almost looks slightly see through when dry but not when wet. The Meba is not quite as stretchy but thinner. Very different from the Speedo Endurance fabrics. I know they last long but they arent as comfortable.

[JohnC]

the fabric sounds great - I almost had to get a suit just for the material. Hope the small fits

I ordered small (Arrest Me) they were a bit snug but decided to stick with it. Warning: when doing laps be sure to have a good knot on the ties. If you don't, the back will slide down.....

I haven't really been on the board lately but I actually did get my order in size small and they seem to fit alright. I haven't really had the gumption to post pictures yet but my boyfriend thinks that the Arrest Me is cut too brief and the Sunrise is a little too "in your face" with the white lines so I haven't had a chance to wear them in public. I'm not sure I'd feel totally comfortable, you know?

Hey ns,

Please post pics. Would be cool to see them.

I found a Singapore ebay seller for Arena and may buy another one. The suits aren't from Japan. They cut them a little bigger in the butt. They have the mesh butt seam. I can wear them to the beach. Not like the Aqux.

[JohnC]

hi guys,
justin i got an arena suit from the new usa site, arenausa.com, but they don't have a rear seam, etc - so i don't think it is what you guys are looking for. I still like them, they are cut pretty small in a size 28 and I do wear them sometimes to swim laps.
ns, i would like to see the marcuse suit as well - would be cool to see.

Hey John! Thanks for the link. That splice suit is cool. (the "Skow" brief....who makes up this stuff). Ihad an old Us arena I bot on ebay. Had a butt seam but not a mesh one. cut low with 2 inch sides.
one of my first suits and it wore out pretty fast.

Is that a Nike in your avatar?? Get a pic of your new arena when u can.

Yeah...I hope ns posts those Marcuses.

Check out the Singapore site. Has Arena and other brands.

hi justin, yes that is the scandalous nike hydra in the avatar. don't hear about those much and i wonder if anyone wears them

i got the arena skys brief and satamis brief in royal, size 28. they don't have any rear seam are pretty tiny - 2" sides - but i like them. they are very similar and it is hard to distinguish a difference (slight difference in the fabric and logo)

John!

Are they unlined? There was a Nike that guys talk about from years ago that showed everything in your package.

Royal is a really cool color. Is the fabric fairly soft? Some of the comp suits have fabric that lasts long but feels too rough.

[JohnC]

yeah, the hydra is not lined. you can still get them in black from a few places - like D&J sports. The price has really gone up, they are $90 now- bummer. So I don't think too many people would buy them unless they are going to race.

The fabric on the arena suits is pretty comfortable, not too rough. They are little less coverage than a nike size 28 and probably not as "clingy" as the nike fabric.

Finally some photos.

First: An apology- no magic shave in a while due to school-work.
Second: Haven't been to gym in a while... definitely shows

BUT you all wanted photos anyway

Also, sorry about the lighting. My room has bad light.

Anyway.... comments are that looking at the pics the Arrest Me fits better than Sunrise. Not too bad, right?

The first post is the Sunrise and second is Arrest Me

Arrest Me

Hey thanks for the pics ns! To me, either suits fits great. I like the way they cut the contour on the sides. Just depends on the amount of butt coverage you want. What's the fabric like and what size did you buy.

Maybe they could change the name of the Sunrise to Moonrise. (sorry.....)
