You Know You're An AvGeek When You Spend $150 On Swim Trunks...

Can you try them on and show is the European cut?

How many miles did you get for that $150 purchase? Knowing you, probably 5000.

You can't put a price on AvGeekness *and* looking good.

Waiting for pics of you wearing it

I'm not surprised about the price given LimoLand is a luxury brand. What's awesome about those trunks is they can be worn as shorts as well especially in resort-type areas.
On the screenshot, doesn't it say an extra 30% off the $129 sale price?

@ Joey -- That wasn't the case when I bought them a few days ago. 🙁

Vilebrequin (Google it) has some awesome swim trunks as well, also priced accordingly. Love 'em.

In for 1. UPromise portal is paying 7% for Barney's Warehouse right now. Knocks the $90 cost down some more...

I love the innuendo...I don't think you'll have a problem with these being too short. I bet your friends will think they are too conservative.

Not crazy at all Ben - while it is a little hefty for swimming trunks I think the concept of them it's totally cool and fit your passion just right. I must admit that I did manage to spend over $100 on trunks for my trip to Thailand in January. Nothing better than some fresh new trunks and in this case heading to such an amazing place like the Maldives it's just right to splurge on a new pair. 🙂 have a great time Ben!!

You have to try Orlebar Brown! Slightly more expensive but they look miles better than that Limoland you bought.

Ah that does suck to miss the extra 30% off sale but at least you have them in the right size! Not sure which sizes are left but I've learned that the most common sizes rarely ever make it to the sales bin.
Enjoy!

...and sold-out. All red seem to still be available.

I hope you're wearing a tshirt. If others are forced to see your flabby thighs, at least spare them your doughy upper body and spare tire, please. 😉

Was this whole post solely to get that innuendo in? 😉

Then just make sure you cover up and not leave any 'loose skin' hanging out 😉

Pics or it didn't happen.

The "European cut" joke is priceless.

Hi Lucky,

I'd you live in hotels full time where did you get these mailed to? Also where do you stay the majority of the time, do you have a "home" hotel, or are you always with your parents when you're not on a trip?

@ Oliver -- I had them sent to my parents, as I'm visiting them this weekend. I'm all over the place, so don't have any hotel in particular that I frequent.

Make up your mind already, Ben!
Will it be the European cut or the uncut Australian?

@Ben -

Truly, in keeping with the spirit of things, you should have bid on something like JFK swim trunks from a Christie's auction sale and gotten some 5,000,000 miles with your purchase when you paid with your AmEx

Did you buy these to console yourself after the One Direction dude up and quit? Probably better than showing your grief by flying coach 🙂

Swim trunks: $150. European cut joke: priceless.

The question is - being born of German parents, does Lucky have a European cut (or lack of)?

Way too much penis innuendo already...

For a hand luggage traveller, space is at a high premium, so makes sense to not take any excess fabric you don't need (long board shorts are ridiculous anyway).

This will henceforth be known as the "Schlappig effect"
