A woman who has been lulled into a false sense of prosperity by mid-range brands such as J. Crew, Quiksilver and Lululemon can only clutch her freshwater pearls in alarm.

Women’s swimwear has a delicately complicated job that makes the top end of a wildly diverging price range almost understandable. But what are men’s trunks if not synthetic boxers lined with tank-top mesh?

Blasphemy, says Roland Herlory, CEO of Vilebrequin, the French brand that sells a thousand-dollar hand-embroidered swim trunk with no-stitch hypoallergenic lining and zinc aglets.

The man who defends the quality of his aglet — drawstring tip, to the layperson — is a man who doesn’t suffer fast-fashion fools.

Herlory is nothing if not passionate. Barths, he rhapsodizes like a Caribbean Karl Lagerfeld about the “life-changing” qualities of electrostatic-free brushed yarn and the “elegant allure” of well-draping fabric.

Vilebrequin’s eye-watering prices come from the European provenance of the polyamide fabrics, sourced in Italy, woven in France and resilient against sun, salt and chlorine.

They’re just the right thickness to drape consistently whether wet or dry and the waist elastic is of the highest grade. The colourfast printing is performed in France and Italy by specialists in brushed polyamide, of which there exist only three.

Today, with Instagram documenting every spare moment, he adds, looking pulled-together during leisure time is key. When OB launched a decade ago, the men’s swimwear offering was flooded with baggy bottoms that wouldn’t stay up, so Brown designed “a short I could swim in,” inspired by images from the original Talented Mr.

He says he found it ludicrous that he’d have to change clothes just to go to the hotel bar. Harry Brantly, co-founder of Frescobol Carioca, marvels that this attitude was so slow on the uptake.

Barths, we have three to five summer holidays a year.

Even when we’re skiing we go to the spa after. Offering a glimpse into the rarefied circles he moves in, Brantly adds, “I’d show up on holiday with 10 pairs of Vilebrequin swim trunks and every guy there was the same.

Frescobol Carioca launched in with a line of Brazilian frescobol beach paddles, then expanded into swimsuits after an infusion of cash from fashion photographer Mario Testino.

Brantly consulted with a Savile Row tailor to get the shape right, and sources his polyamides in Lake Como — he insists they’re thinner and faster-drying than Vilebrequin’s.

He’s considering adding stretch into the weave, “so it has some give when you’re going for a low backhand in tennis. Orlebar Brown’s chlorine- and saltwater-tested French polyamide shorts have a four-part shaped waistband a Savile Row standard and heat-resistant Zamak metal hardware.

They’re also guaranteed for five years, which goes some way to explaining the price tag. Though Vilebrequin has no such guarantee, longevity is implied.
