    Form fitting knickers

    Who sells knickers that are not baggy as crap?? I'm not looking for tight knickers just one that is not so loose. For example Triplette sells very baggy knickers.


    Does anyone take into account height instead of just waist size? --puppet

    Fencepbt.com has good uniforms. Email Gilbert and ask him which model you would want and he'll get you what you need.

    Allstar uniforms are cut pretty trim. Uhlmanns are a bit wider, but not nearly as tent-like as Triplette stuff. Santelli's stretch knickers fit tight, also (though many find them too tight-- they can resemble spandex).

    Gee, I thought it was just me. The first pair of knickers I bought, I got from Triplette and I felt like I was wearing clown pants. I figured it was because they insisted on asking my weight after I told them my size, and I'm pretty muscular.

    Santelli's stretch knickers are very tight. Uhlmann also provides tight knickers, but they're not as stretchy or tight as Santelli's.

    Also, non-FIE knickers are more lycra-ed and stretchy.

    I fence foil, and I personally prefer baggy pants. The reason being that it has more folds around the hip area, so that low attacks might catch and go off-target.

    My girlfriend had some stretch knickers from American Fencers Supply, but has since misplaced them. They were pretty form fitting. Heck, they were pretty....

    If you want leotard-looking knickers, try American Fencers Supply or Santelli stretch knickers. If you can find some, Prieurs are less baggy compared to Uhlmann and Allstar.

    Blade and Blue Gauntlet knickers have a non-baggy but non-ballet-leotard appearance.

    I am an Epeeist and am looking for tighter knickers for obvious reasons. The ones I have now are a little baggy and too short so I think i need to shop somewhere else...

    are! Not baggie, not leotard-like, they seem
    just about right, to me. One note; Don't

    I had one of those unitards. Exceedingly form-fitting, and a pain to get on and off when you have to go to the bathroom.

    So you can see through them? Sounds like the material is a little thin. Are any others this way? Thanks for all the replies.

    Hi
    My fiancee recently got a 350 N uniform from negrini: it is mighty fine fits like a glove and makes her look yummy ;-)
    Judging by the Olympics, the negrini 800N stuff is also VERY good looking.
    Negrini also make the stuff to your measurements and it is pretty precise (not sure if is fully custom made but seems that way to me), so I am ordering my 800 N stuff from them just as soon as I can!
    Negrini's service is also EXCELLENT and the price very competitive they are able to write very good English as well (not sure about spoken though...)
    Check them out at www.negrini.com

    The cheapie Post Sport stretch knickers from the Fencing Post are see through. Have had them over a year and no one ever told me they could see right through them...even with tightie whities. Oh well...not much I can do about it now...

    Fits like a glove says Cyranox11 - doesn't sound good for a pair of knickers (or britches, as we call them here in the old world).
    If you want a tight fitting pair, do what I did. I got a baggy pair, and then put on weight until I was baggy as well.
    All the best

    Check my website (linked via my profile) and you can see lots of nice knickers! Some of the guys in the club have asked me if I put pictures up specifically because of what they show. Me? Come on! Susan would kill me if the answer were yes, so I deny everything. Enjoy it, in the meantime.
