[dino might]

someone gimme sweet, short bathing suit recommendations i wanna go swimmin' immediately and havent been able to get my summer clothes yet

*also, obviously this is open to discussions of all sorts pertaining to anything in the title, not just for my sake

cool thanks.

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

not a "cool" brand, but i have some Penguin swimming trunks that are pretty short and nice

[jeansnkicks]

I've been sporting a pair of basic red mid thigh PRL trunks... they've been serving me well. They were around $75 from Holt Renfrew.

Gilt Man has some nice looking Ralph Lauren Purple Label trunks right now

I got some BoO madras swim shorts that are really comfy, they fit pretty lose and i wear them on hot summer days aswell.

Boardshorts = Birdwell Beach Britches

made in usa, short length.. around mid-thigh, great

can custom order stuff

https://www.birdwellbeachbritches.com/

visited their workshop and picked up deeply discounted old pairs/seconds for like super cheap. don't remember the price but it was less than 20 bux or something. of course custom designs are extra $$$

need to go like one size up per their sizing guidelines or whatever

club monaco shorts

the only downside is they have a fat emblem on them

bbb's site pisses me off. i don't care if it's low-tech, but they don't have to use 5 different font colors. i get it off ebay, but i think south willard sells that stuff too

[dino might]

oh ferreal? i thought vampy was joshin me with that site hahaha

[Layne]

Birdwell beach britches has the worst website I've encountered in years...

Is it a joke? There's no way they just opted not to update.

these if you need them cheap. dig the red ones.

i expected the quality of the AA's to be low, but when i got them they were unbelievably shit house. the waist band feels like cardboard and the fit wasn't as slim as i thought they would be. i wouldn't pay more than 5 dollars for them.

[dino might]

^yeah stopped by aa yesterday just to see since I was in the neighborhood, was reminded once again why I never ever shop there. The stuff was of the quality of utter shit

[notesee]

Curious about this too since I'll be poolside in late April. Came across a few options on Patagonia's website but I need to drop into the store to check the fit/quality.

Gonna try to check these:

[sunkenshoes]

You guys wear boxers underneath your shorts? Or is that a Eurotrash thing?

[dino might]

I don't ever wear boxers but yeah I wear underwear under my shit

I have two pair of the wavefarer's, pretty comfortable and nice cut (although I did get mine hemmed)

Depending on the material and cut of the boardshorts I may or may not wear a pair of boxers underneath them.

Chaffing is a bitch.

[dino might]

yo note lemme know whatchu think if/when you check those out. some of the striped joints are pretty nice lookin'

[Fycus]

J.Crew patchwork madras bathing suit. Fits great and looks pretty cool, shorter leg as well.

[dino might]

^ pretty positive they don't do that one anymore, not online and haven't seen it at work anywhere

[Fycus]

Yeah after checking the website I was sad to see they don't stock them. You work at the Crew right? Some of the newer styles seem to be pretty nice, especially after employee discount. Not quite on the tier of the patchwork madras, but they have some nice solids.

I have the master cut in navy. Best swimming trunks I ever owned.

[rxtim]

and they always show up in gilt too. there's the park & ronen sale right now too

[hhenryhhh]

They're a bit pricey for swimwear, but I'm considering buying. Definitely going shorter this summer.

[polishmike]

dino is passed out on my chair. i might put some speedos on his head.

[dino might]

^ yo no way, I passed out???

eh, most of them just seem too old manish and boring for

me, want a little edgier

They're on sale on gilt or just generally?

[dino might]

I like the parke 6" joints, doesn't say they're on sale on the website though..
