Mens Swimwear in the UK

[Prestwich]

Dear You Lot,

So I'm off to Vegas in a month and need a swimwear upgrade. I'm not looking for budgie-smugglers or board shorts, more somewhere in between. Think Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Any suggestions of where I can get these form in the UK?

Thanks in advance...

What's wrong with speedos?

Just copped a second pair of Orlebar Brown on ebay. I had to size up this time. Expensive, but you might find a few on ebay.

Check the short version from Orlebar Brown if you have Daniel Craig's body

I bought some crazy Vilebrequins last month in vacation in Corsica, they have very unusual colours.

What's the point of being British and wearing swimwear?

I *do* have a body like Daniel Craig's. Only fatter.

Much, much fatter.

Thanks for the advice guys...

I like those Orlebars a lot but they are ridiculously priced.

I've been looking for side-cinch swim trunks for a while now (I dislike having a knot at the front, particularly when wearing a t-shirt on top), without much success: the alternatives I've come across are Comme des Garcons and Paul Smith, both of which are also on the expensive side, especially considering I don't actually get to swim all that often.

try FB Collection, a new Brasilian beachwear brand - www.fbcollection.com

very high quality, soft and lightweight. They have two lengths, the slightly longer boardshort called the Leblon and a shorter version, the Trancoso...

I think Aussiebum is genuinely ok. In Selfridges or there's a big gay shop in Old Compton Street. I think its called Prowler.
