FAQs
What material is the Ellesse Fratina Swim Brief made from?
The Fratina Swim Brief is made from soft polyamide rib, with this specific variant using polyester for its construction.
How should I care for my swim brief?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors, avoid bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'low-rise' mean for this product?
A low-rise cut means the waistband sits lower on the hips compared to a standard or high-rise fit.
Is this swim brief suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for recreational swimming, the design is more focused on style and vintage aesthetics rather than the specific hydrodynamic needs of competitive swimming.
What does 'tonal semi palla branding' refer to?
This refers to the Ellesse logo (Semi Palla) being embroidered or placed on the garment in a color that matches the main fabric, creating a subtle and cohesive look.
How does the 'tiny' cut affect fit?
The 'tiny' cut indicates a minimal design with less fabric, providing less coverage than more traditional swimwear styles. It's a deliberate aesthetic choice.
Are there other colors available for the Fratina Swim Brief?
This guide focuses on the Navy XXL variant. Other colors and sizes may be available depending on the retailer and current stock.
Troubleshooting
Swim brief feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the size chart. The low-rise and 'tiny' cut are intentional design elements; if fit is still an issue, consider alternative styles.
Discoloration after washing
Always wash with like colors in cold water. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Ensure proper drying as per care instructions.
Material feels less breathable
Polyamide is a synthetic material. For extended wear in very hot conditions, consider taking breaks or opting for materials with higher breathability if this is a concern.
