FAWCETT SARAPE - Swim Sunga
For swimwear in general, the rule is that measures are stated mostly by reference of regular-clothing waist size (not actual body measures). Using the example on this table, if you usually wear 33" in jeans or pants, then a Large should be your size of reference for BANG! swimsuits.
Perfect fit guaranteed or your money back.

Few images in this world are as ingrained in our retinas as the iconic Farrah Fawcett 1976 Swimsuit Poster. In this case, our obsession with it focused on the background of this legendary photo, where what seems to be a painted wall, is actually a Mexican blanket – or Sarape - that was held vertically behind Fawcett as an improvised backdrop during the photos session.
So, we put our BANG! magic to work and came up with an exact replica of that Sarape with its same progression of colors and patterns to adapt it into this men’s swimsuit for the summer. Check out also its matching companion accessory, the “Fawcett Sarape Beach Towel” or the Complete Series and get ready to get countless iconic photos taken with them.
To create our Swim Sungas we went back to the roots and then applied some of our signature BANG! tweaks to it. The starting point was the pattern of an original Brazilian sunga from the 90s, as based on the MMA shorts of jiu-jitsu fighters that back in the day were adapted to use in the water for the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
Then we started cutting and accentuating some of the curved lines to spice up its sexiness factor, and to bring it to some middle ground between the shape of our acclaimed Swim Briefs and the form of our new square-cut Swim Trunks. Still, we kept the construction tight around the legs while easy around the waist, to maintain the essence of the Brazilian Men’s Sunga. And true to the original, we kept the silhouette plain and free of any accents, pockets, or accessories.
The result is the BANG!® Swim Sunga now ready to be rocked from sand to poolside.

Machine wash cold on delicate cycle, or hand wash.
Wash separately: The type of dye-pigment used on this fabric has limited fastness resistance. Depending on conditions or temperature it may react and transfer color when exposed to pool water (chlorinated) or sea water.
Do not iron or dry in shade. Do not wring or scrub.
Do not use chlorine-based whiteners. Do not use fabric softeners.
Wash only with similar colors.
Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp edges to prevent damage to the fabric.
This swimsuit is made with a premium quality fabric, which feels incredibly smooth and soft to the touch. Therefore it should be treated as carefully as other delicate and costly fabrics of similar higher grade, like silk or rayon. Be attentive when sitting or leaning against pool borders or steps made of stone or concrete finishes, as rubbing the fabric of your swimsuit against those may damage the appearance of the fabric.
Also be careful with swimming pools , jacuzzis or similar places where water may have a high concentration of chlorine. Exposing the type of high-quality/delicate fabric of this swimsuit to water with unbalanced levels of pH (as in when high concentrations of chlorine or other chemicals are present) may leave residues of permanent discoloration ("yellowing effect") on the fibers of the garment. In case exposure happens, we recommend to wash and rinse your swimsuit with fresh clean water as soon as possible. Leaving your swimsuit to dry if it's wet with chlorinated water, may create yellow residues of color on the fabric, causing permanent damage to its fibers.
