Hi Ms. B I’m just seeing your reply thank you! Its frustrating isn’t it how things are made I cant even buy quality socks without them getting misshapen after wearing a few times. All is good with my neighbor we had coffee outside this morning. Have not seen him wear those beige swim shorts again so unless a coincidence then I’m fixing to believe he must’ve became aware of it somehow possibly saw himself  in the mirror that day when he went inside. You bring up a  good point about polyester I didn’t think of the fabric blend. I read up on garments made of cotton, poly, and poly-cotton. It would explain why they were “clingy” on  him as polyester has that tendency and if the swimwear did not have an inner liner that would account for the “see-thru” aspect due to the color beige but I still believe regardless-poly or not-if they were a dark color then his hair would not have been visible underneath any type of material whatsoever. Combination material and color without a liner my conclusion. Thank you for that info have a good day!  Jo
