My line of ‘Dave Evans Swimwear’ hit a bit of a hurdle this week. I’ve had a manufacturer that I’ve worked with in the past and I really enjoyed working with them.
Over the last couple of months I’ve been working with Kip designing a new line with some things that we both like in our speedos. Drawstring that isn’t on the inside, putting some stitching on the drawstring so that it doesn’t come out in the wash, a really nice lycra that feels amazing, the perfect cut, no lining among other things. I had placed an order with the supplier to make up 6 prototypes which I was going to give out to some long time supporters and the manufacturer completely blew it.
Such a disappointment after all the back and forward and I thought we had a really great product…. all be it in our heads.
We did make some progress but I’m going to be looking for a new manufacturer. If you guys have any ideas let me know.
OK, I’m off for an early Saturday morning surf before the wind gets up. After last weekends partying my liver needs a break so I’m behaving myself this weekend.
This week I noticed two different guys wearing AussieBum speedos at the pool which was pretty cool.
Is AussieBum that much of a gay brand that I should assume these guys are gay or not? I know when they started Sean (AussieBum Founder) tried to distance himself from the ‘gay’ side of speedos. He hasn’t supported any online gay speedo stuff. Since he started trying to get into the surf life saving clubs I can understand him taking that view.
Dave Evans Swimwear is definitely embracing gay guys wearing briefs.
Alex hasn’t been able to make it to the pool this week unfortunately but the Surfer Chick saw a pair of my AussieBums in the shower yesterday and commented on them. Turns out she swam in high school and is keen to come to the pool. Alex and Surfer Chick in lycra….. I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Here are some hot AussieBum guys for you to feast your eyes on. I’ve never seen these white AussieBums in the first photo, they look amazing!!!
This speedo looks like an AussieBum to me, what do you guys think?
I’m just about to duck out to the pool for a swim, not 100% sure Alex will make it.
I have a pair of AussieBum classic speedos in that blue color, they are a little small for me but I have lost a little bit of weight lately so I might wear them just for fun.
I have some developments on my DE Swimwear line which I’m looking forward to being able to share with you guys. I’m waiting on some samples so checking the mailbox daily.
