G'day Guys,

Welcome to the Speedo Forum.

If you are a guest, you can only see a small portion of the forum. Members like posting their speedo selfies so I don't like that to be 100% public. However, joining is free.

If you are a new member, you need to email me your username so I can manually activate your account. This is a pain (for you and me) but it is the only way I've been able to keep the spam bots from ruining the forum. My email address is: DaveEvans@SpeedoFetish.com

This forum is free and I don't allow any advertising (except my own sites), if you would like to donate please click the link above, all donations go towards the hosting and maintenance of the forum for everyone to enjoy.

It was (maybe still is) a very good brand. (They used to make really good tennis apparel) I saw a few vintage ST suits with this cut from a seller linked on ebay. Fairly expensive. Still, Italian lycra is awesome. I have only one suit made from it and it's light and very comfortable. You have a classic.

Here's a vintage pair, but not what I found the other day, which I didn't save. Tacchini is still around, but they only sell board shorts, even on their Italian site.

But I did find this.

https://www.ebay.it/itm/Costume-Mare-Uo ... 1773189687

And this ebay Italia search

https://www.ebay.it/sch/i.html?_odkw=Se ... r&_sacat=0

"taille" is size, I believe.
