British Nylon was still under fire from local wool and cotton growers although were making inroads into beachwear by the mid 60s with a range of hip fabrics and graphics like these. Number 8 ball busting front vent looks like business but the comp stripes on number 5 are packing more heat. My favourites are the sensible key pocket check of number 6.
