Bathing suit?


I've seen German swim teams from the 1920s and 30s in suits like his,
but I don't know anything at all about this picture.

  1. Yes, very much German from the period you cite. And looking at the subject, I think it would be reasonable to assume that he is indeed a German. (The British version of these was stylistically different.) These would be bathers but probably also used in gymnasia for indoor football and other games.

    1. Thanks, Julian, for the details and confirming that I can still learn things at my age. I didn't know that style until a year or so ago.
