Orlebar Brown has shops in expensive places in Florida, California, and New York, as well as an online store. I visited the shop in Palm Beach that somehow survived COVID. Anyway, they have a small selection of brief cut suits online (didn't see them in the store). Way too expensive at US$145, but it's interesting that they have any at all. Most of the sizes are sold out, so somebody is buying them. Why they call their brief suit "The Dachshund" is beyond me. (I had a dachshund when I was a kid. He was a cool dog, and he did have a cute little butt. He had a sweater for the winter, but no speedo.)

In the UK the slang for a Dachshund is sausage dog - you make the connection!

I really like OB's retro clothing, especially their limited 50's James Bond line. While this is my style, unfortunately it's not my wallet's style. I have seen their briefs but even when they have their big seasonal sale, they are still pretty expensive. I think at that price point, I will take some other suit brands that are slightly better cut for my waist/height. Yoox sometimes has their clothes at a steep discount too and I have seen the briefs pop up on their site occasionally for more than 1/2 off... but still expensive...

I like their polo shirt, which is, I think, better than LaCoste. Just too expensive, though. The store is for Palm Beach trust fund babies, or tourists who want to splurge. The priciest I get is the J. Crew sale rack. And they are good quality. No speedos, though.
