There appear to be two companies manufacturing tan through men's swimwear in the United States. I'm going to give a rundown of the swimsuit styles they offer for men and the differences between the two tan through swimsuit styles.
Style: Racer Suit
This swimsuit is skimpy and leaves little to the imagination.
CoolTan has these tan through swimsuits in 2 hip heights. A 1" band of material over the hip, and a 4" band of material.
Various colors are available in these tan through swimsuits for men. The price is reasonable, $32.95 for the 1" and $34.95 for the 4" in USD at their website.
Solar Tan Thru has these tan through swimsuits in 2 styles. The traditional style has a 2" hip strap, the hipslip appears to have less fabric. This style of men's tan through swimsuit advertises a drawstring in this brand.
Style: Bike Shorts
Solar Tan Thru also has a bike short style for tan through men's swimwear. They provide slightly more cover, but they're still tight and still tan through. They also advertise a drawstring.
Men's tan through swimwear patterns are more limited in this brand, but they still have several types to choose from. Their prices for tan through men's swimwear range from $29.95 to $54.95 and are available at their website.
Men's tan through swim trunks.
If racer style isn't YOUR style, then check out three separate styles of men's tan through swimsuit trunks available at CoolTan.
Beach Shorts are the shortest length trunk style swimsuit available for men's swimwear. They're average length swimsuits for men made with tan through fabric. Lots of color choices available for $36.95 USD
Board Shorts are the medium length trunk style swimsuit available for men's swimwear. They're longer-than-average length swimsuits for men made with tan through fabric. Lots of color choices available for $38.95 USD. These men's swimsuits measure 19" long.
Surf shorts are the longest length trunk style swimsuit available for men's swimwear. They're the longest swimtrunks I've found available for men made with tan through fabric. Lots of color choices available for $39.95. These men's swimsuits measure 23" long.
Please be aware that it seems that tan through swimsuits for men are only available in smaller men's sizes. At CoolTan, the largest size they sell is XXL and they're for 37/39" waists and they're marketed to their average customer as for a loose fit for smaller waist sizes. For example, they say buy XL for a waist size 30 to 33 for their men's swimwear. The sizes for tan through swimwear seem similar at Solar Tan Thru.
