Poolside wool in Coral Gables (via Florida Memory Project)
When I was a student in Seattle, the University pool leased out woolen
bathers for day use. This was 1990. I'm pretty sure the school stocked
their supply from the municipal pool in Buster Keaton's The Camerman.
If you're shopping for your very own vintage suit, I advise that you
browse the listings on ebay. A recent search produced many handsome
models. My favorites are those made by the Portland, Oregon based
Jantzen swimwear company. The company's logo - a swan diving lady - is
in desperate need of reissue.
