I bought from them on their last 50% sale earlier this year. It did take 4 weeks for just-in-time production, printing, cutting, stitching,.. They don’t keep anything in shelf stock. Worth the wait though.

I love their swim trunks, really good quality but their prices seem to have gone up since I last ordered from them

Can anybody report what the side seam lengths are on the water polo vs the classic?

Yes good question considering that the highlight images of the water polo suits make the sides look no more than an inch and a half or even a quarter, but the suit the model is wearing looks like the sides are twice that.

Size 36

Classic sideseam measures4 inches

Water polo sideseam measures 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 inches

I think you're right. Previously they were closer to U.S.$40 or 42, IIRC. As you observe, it's a quality suit.

I have a water polo, and it's 2 1/4. I've never ordered the Classic.,

Thom, most of my Speedos, Q-Swims and others are 34. I tried ordering a size up from Q-Swim for the one pair of Classic and a water polo to try.

The Classic fits kinda baggy, one size up. Guess it'll be a drag suit for me.

Thanks for the info for the Classic. I've been recovering from an injury and have put on some weight. Will keep this in mind.

Last July I bought one classic and one water polo brief (34), and I can confirm the measurements of 4" and 2.5" respectively. The classic Q, at 4" side seam, is pretty much like the classic Speedo Endurance + of the same size, however, in agreement with red^^, the fit of the Q is more relaxed, the waist a bit larger. Maybe not a drag suit, but the fit feels more like a classic sunga. The Q water polo suit at 2.5" is comparable to a Turbo brand water polo suit, the fit comfortably tight and low above the articulation of the femur.

I also have an older brief from Q that I bought on ebay, and it has a 3.5" side seam, but fits tight like the water polo suit.
