Scepter Suits

[BJE]

If that is the case since my butt measures about 36.5 then I should wear an extra large. It's hard to imagine I would be wearing their largest size. Also I can't imagine how small a waist a man would have to have to have a 28" butt.

I'm just going to order the small and let it go at that.

A small would be for a 28-32" hip. That is a lot smaller than me.

[quote="BJE"]Scottiebum, when I went to their website I saw the suit you are wearing and was going to ask you about it.

Their sizing chart says to go by hip measurements rather than waist measurements for the size. What I don't know though is if that means the level at which you would have the waistband or the fullest part of the butt.

On their site some of the suits look okay in the back while others look very skimpy in the back. I wonder if there is a difference in cut or if some of the models are undersizing.

Unfortunately I cannot remember the size I bought, but I think you could be right in saying measure where the waistband will be. I do not have much of a butt but coverage was fine and not too low at the front, I might have been able to go down a size to make them skimpier, but they would be quite tight then.

I'm just ignoring their diagram and going by the regular sizing. Who could wear the smalls using their system? They'd be sized for skinny youths who wear size 26 jeans These suits are for adults. Besides, if I measure 4" below my navel (within their suggested range), that's just below hip bone level where my speedo waist band rides, and that's higher than the middle of my butt, so buying their small size should work. Their measurement range is okay (with variances along their range depending on height). I think their diagram is off.

I emailed the company a question about sizing so I guess I'll see if they respond. However since I wear 31 to 32 inch pants I can't imagine that I would wear their largest size suit. Mostly I want to make sure my butt is covered. If I was young with a tight firm butt I wouldn't mind showing some of it but such as it is I have saggy skin at the bottom of my butt which I'd rather keep covered.

Well, I'll be interested in what they say because I've exhausted any thoughts I have.

I hope I can find a size that fits well because I really like how they look.

I noticed that they have suits with different cloth. One is 63% polyester and 37% spandex and the other is 83% polyester and 17% spandex. Does anyone know what the advantages of each of these fabrics would be? The cut in each looks the same.

[SpeedoUSA]

Bum, you say stick with your normal size? BJE is getting a response but I fear it won't help. I think the extra poly means tighter fit...? They really have cool designs and colorful choices.

The Sporti Euro briefs which are my favorite are made of Lycra so I don't really know how the Scepters would compare.

Again I cannot remember what material mine were,but they were very comfortable. The material was quite soft and form fitting but supportive enough too.

I tried calling them in Taipei. It's 9.20 AM there as I write this. No answer.

Since they are in Asia--it's now sinking into my brain--you might very well have to upsize since Asian suits tend to run small. And, looking at the pictures, they seem to ride pretty low on the glutes.

I have also wondered if the is why they seem to be so small.

[SpeedoUSA]

Small Asians come in small packages!!! Hahaaaa

Scottiebum, I agree.

You look awesome in them. Still wearing them?

Thanks! No. I've not worn any swimwear at all for quite some time. Have not had time. I've also grown my hair and beard out long, but I don't care for the look of speedos and a long thick beard, at least not on myself. Don't worry though, I'm not going back to board shorts.

[SpeedoUSA]

Received my Scepter Med. Snug fit as I normally wear a 34" USA Med. a large might be the best fit...? Thoughts?

[Scottiebum]

Firstly looks great! Covers everything it should, so no problem there, just depends whether it feels right or not.

[SpeedoUSA]

Thanks Scotti! It does cover well being on the slim side. I think the suit is comfortable and great looking. They have some cool styles and fit the back well. Probably may not be a family beach attire. However it doesn't seem to be transparent so be it.

[FLTANNER]

That suit really looks great on you! Love the design and the cut of the sides. Might have to check into ordering one for myself!
