Doesn’t matter what company or brand — I have to flip through every swim catalog I receive in the mail, even if I don’t currently need anything. It’s always fun to see what’s new in prints and styles!
This includes Agonswim, even though they primarily cater to teams that want to design their own suit.
After riffling through their newest catalog that arrived this week, I realized that I don’t see any of their “house” prints around the pools. I’m assuming this is because Agonswim bases cost on order size, so a single suit would be pricer than average, especially when compared to a standard Speedo or TYR sale suit.
Although, maybe I do see Agonswim handiwork, but I just don’t realize it because it’s a specially designed and ordered team suit.
In any case, the new catalog did make me wonder about suit pattern design. Is it one of those things that sounds more fun than it proves to be? Does the final product come close to matching your vision? If you are a suit designer by trade, is it tough to come up with new designs season after season?
Must find someone in the biz some day to ask…
Until next time,
