Hey everyone.
Anyone love the Arrest Me by Marcuse?
What colours do you own?
And if you own the white, is it sheer when you are in the water?
Trying to pick my next colour!
Cheers

I have the Arrest Me in purple and in khaki (more like a dusty green). I like them. I feel they are similar to the Aussiebum Swish for fit and comfort. I did buy the Swish in white, in addition to several other colors of it I own, but have not been bold enough to wear it. With so many colors to choose from, I wouldn't mind having another Arrest Me. I don't think the fit is as daring as the name suggests.
But you're not wrong for asking about transparency. I'm not sure a white pair would not highlight some features. I bought the Starz in blue, loved it so much I bought it in white. Again, I'm not feeling bold enough to wear white out yet, but it's lined well enough I very much doubt that it would become transparent.
Let me know if you want suggestions on any of the other Marcuse suits; I've found them to be consistently good quality and comfortable, and offer sales frequently.

I actually have the dusty green and black.. but keen to pick up more colours,
Except their photos on website is completely differnet to the actual product.
Like you, i dont know if im brave enough ot wear white, espevcially if it may go see through (and a waste of money lol)

I like the blue in the Arrest Me. I'm the same as you with the white.. i have a couple of pairs but haven't been brave enough to wear them out yet.
aB swish were a great fit, that front seam/stitching seems to have been a popular design in a few styles recently.

I've attached a photo to show how the purple looks compared to the khaki (2nd row from top), along with the other Marcuse suits I bought. Top to bottom, left to right, those are Burleigh Deluxe gray, Inflate green, Arrest Me khaki, Arrest Me purple, Ocean, Marx, Starz white, Starz blue, Voyage, Burleigh black, and Manifest.
I have worn the Voyage (blue and white stripe) and did feel a bit self conscious with the high contrast.
Agreed that they don't look at all like how the model wears them, with the Arrest Me.
I don't know if I'm showing my age here, but I also worry about the wearing white after Labor Day thing. Or do speedos get a pass?

I did not size up. They are all Smalls, which I wear for pretty much every other brand. The Manifest one at the bottom is just a bit too small. It fits just like the model; very low in front, crack showing in back. The Burleigh Deluxe (gray) is a velvety material and would not wear to get wet, but feels very comfy. They all fit great otherwise, and have had no issues swimming in them.

The velvet one is very soft and delicate I would not be surprised if they: clung and defined your pouch more than wished, fell apart at the seams sooner than expected, stretch permanently, or didn't hold color. I could be wrong about those. They are comfortable to sleep in though.

I have the bottom maroon/yellow one. the material's somewhat thick, so i cut out the lining. VPL is nice & highlighted down the yellow stripe. Lots of 2nd take looks!

Thanks for the information! I have that suit, but I have not removed the liner. Sounds like a worthwhile project.

The other suits I really like are the Box "swimming trunks" which are briefs, and they're back in stock! Thin material & I still cut the lining out - an exhibitionist, I am!! they run big - I wear a small in Aussiebums, A 32 in a Tyr racer and buy XS in the Box.
