The promo that I ran last week giving away some of my ‘Dave Evans White Speedos’ was a huge success!!!
I couldn’t believe the response I got – poor Kip in Breckenridge, Colorado had my old stock and he has to post them all out. With 114 orders it took him an entire day to send them.
I was amazed at where the orders came from, there wasn’t as many from the US as I expected (only 20% or so). Aussie counted for more than that, there were a bunch from Europe (Belgium, Luxenburg, France, UK, Wales and Norway) and what surprised me the most was 5 orders from South Africa!!!
It has encouraged me to pull my finger out and create a more permanent line of ‘Dave Evans Swimwear’. I’ve got a project which I have to launch in May which will keep me busy but after that I think I’m going to make myself dedicate some time to it. If any of you guys have any experience in this area feel free to touch base with me – I’m sure I’m going to need some help.
For those of you who joined SwimmerBoyz.com for a month, your white speedos are on their way as you read this. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy them.
Here are some random white speedo photos for you guys to feast your eyes on.
Last night I was talking to Kip and in his storage in Colorado he has my old pile of DE Swimwear.
I had a batch made up years ago of white speedos with no lining. The guy who had them made up for me and who was distributing them (his name is Jason) turned out to be a scam artist. Luckily I got the stock back but I really haven’t had the infrastructure in place to distribute them.
I’m really keen to have my own brand and I’ve got some great ideas. It is something I’m going to be working on and hopefully have it up and ready for next summer (Australian summer). So I thought I should probably get rid of some of that old stock.
If you join my site ‘SwimmerBoyz.com‘ for a month before midday Monday (Kip’s Colorado time) – email me and I’ll send you a pair of Dave Evans white speedos.
For $30, you get a months subscription to SwimmerBoyz.com AND a pair of white, super see through speedos. I’m even going to pick up the shipping charge for you.
I have limited sizes – only a few XL’s, a bunch of large (with or without the logo on the bum) and 5 mediums. First in will be first served and I’ll keep you posted when I run out of whatever size.
A couple of months back I was asked (or maybe I asked, I can’t remember) to contribute some speedo/underwear reviews to ‘A Mens Underwear Blog’. Tim, who runs the site loves speedos and we’ve been online mates for years it seems now.
So for my first ever speedo review I decided to pick something I have never owned before, something Aussie and something not too ‘gay’. I had heard of Budgy Smugglers so I ordered a pair.
I ordered them when I was in Colorado with Kip and they took maybe 3 weeks to arrive but so does everything travelling that far.
I ordered the ‘Royales with Cheese’ which is a blue pair with yellow writing. I ordered a large, what I normally order with AussieBum and next time I’ll go the medium. I bought these because I needed more speedo to use at the pool and they are great. Nice comfy fit, the lycra material is nice and smooth and so far they haven’t been destroyed by the chlorine in the pool – saying that I’ve had them in the pool maybe a dozen times so no real guage there.
At AU$40 (which is US$40) I think it is a bit steep in my mind for a plain blue speedo (I didn’t ask for a freebie I bought mine).
When I ordered mine I didn’t notice the style that is pictured below – they look hot!!!
For those of you not in Australia and who don’t know what a Budgie is – it is a bird, I think from the parrot family. The term Budgie Smuggler is Aussie slang for a pair of speedos (cock is your budgie and wearing tight speedos is smuggling your budgie). I’m not sure who is the founder of the company but Budgie is spelt with an ie instead of a y but I think the brand “Budgy Smuggler” kinda works and I like it.
In conclusion, I have no problems with my Budgie Smugglers. Their website is easy to user, their ordering system worked and the product made it from Australia all the way to Colorado. I’d just buy a smaller size and if they knocked $10 off the price of them I’d be an even bigger fan.
Their website is www.BudgySmuggler.com.au
I’d love to hear your comments if you’ve owned a pair and if there is anything I’ve commented on which you disagree with I’d love to hear about it.
Here are some pics I took of my Royales with Cheese not far from my place.
