Vilebrequin swim trunks

[Lacoste]

Anyone familiar with this luxury French brand?

 

[DocHolliday]

There are some available on discount at bluefly.com

I don't look good enough in swim trunks to warrant Vilebrequin's price tag. And those who do probably don't need to buy them.

I have one pair. I wear a 31". Mine are labeled "L" and they're tight. So proceed accordingly.

^ Right on about the sizing. I'm a 38 and the trunks that fit me are XXL!

Distinctive designs, high quality, very high price.

Yes indeed!
Still it is as some have noticed, the sizes is weird..
But the design, so beautiful... You can hardly go wrong with these.
I noticed that quite many use these on the cote d'azur this year, I hope you buy a pair because they are excellent!

I've been wearing Vilebrequin for years and have several pairs. High quality textiles and construction with wonderfully unique patterns. Luckily I have easy access to their outlet store so I usually pay half price.

Interesting. Do you apply this philosophy to all apparel or is it reserved for swim trunks?

Where's the outlet? Are they made for outlet products, or the same shorts at retail? Edit: I'm guess Fort Lauderdale? Would you take an order?

Just a joke, T, though I don't, personally, have much desire for high-end trunks.

+2

XL are right for me w/ a 34 waist. FYI: Ben Silver had a bunch of these listed in their outlet last year.

I don't feel the need to spend that much money on swimwear but if/when I have a child and it's a boy, I'm so buying their matching dad and son swimming trunks.

 

[Miguel Alvarez]

yeah just but a new one last week

 

[Montesquieu]

They've been my preferred swim trunks brand for four years or so. I don't know of anything better. Their designs are great and quality excellent.

I tried to resist, but it was futile. Their 'grandad' has a pair too. If you think you're paying a lot for yours, wait until you see what they charge for your son(s), which they will either destroy

,or grow out of in one season

Strictly beachwear or also appropriate to kick around in them in the shopping mall etc paired with a lacoste and surfsiders?
