Need an Old School Swimsuit... HELP!!!
 

I am in the market for one of those old school men's full body black & white convict striped swimsuits like they near the beginning of the last century. I cannot come up with the right search terms to find one online. Anyone know whre such an item can be found?

Like the one in this pic...

Anyone?
Been looking for one of these for years.

I haven't the foggiest, but those that happen to know these things...

I've been looking for adult feetie pajamas... you know the fuzzy ones with the zipper in the middle

Hah!:lol: My wife has a pair (set?) of those. They have the little feet on 'em, the zipper (just like our son's), and little cows. They're cuter than hell, and she claims they're warm and snuggy. Not very sexy, though. :(

Hit google and/or ebay for "vintage mens swimsuit" or "bathing suit." You can also call around to vintage shops in the area - if they don't have it, they'll be happy to call around to their suppliers and find one for you. You'll probably pay handsomely for it - these things are pretty rare. You can also try local costume and theater shops - if you're not looking for authenticity, they might have new ones they've made.

As for the footie pajamas...oh...kay. To each his own:

You should get one with a built in TV screen and an antena on the hood, y'weirdo.

Hey cyn -- How about these?

Lurk and troit :) That's great!!! thank you!!!

I don't know why I want them, no weird fetish or even that I want to sleep in them. I don't like to sleep in PJs.. I think I like the whole sliding on the vinyl or wood floors :)

sure I'm the weirdo... i want to wear them in the privacy of my own home... who knows where the old school bathing suit is going to show up LOL

Well, those kind of thing are pretty common in Canada since we're the land of the snow. Hell, whenever my step-uncle is visiting, I always find him walking around in those kind of PJs in the middle of the night...

Top, I looked for 30 minutes and didn't come close. "Bathing Costume" came up a lot, as did "Jantzen". Perhaps this will help.

TopHat, my mom is a professional seamstress and could probably make them.

Hmmm...I wonder if there could actually be a market for these? Who would want to own one (swimsuit) if'n it were available? C'mon...let's see a hand count.

I wore those as a kid. I have some bad memories. Let's just say I was careless with the zipper on at least two occasions.

Here's a costume, not an actual swimsuit:

Frank and beans! Frank and Beans!!!

Son, just how did you get the beans above the frank?

We've got a bleeder.

:)

Thanks to that movie, I now have a fear of Bactine.

I was never a bleeder. But I definitely ran into my parents room screaming and crying. My dad was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe. It was very traumatic.
