I've always wanted to ramble on about my own interest in wearing 100% nylon tricot. Truthfully, I don't really care if anyone even reads this blog! It's all about ME --lol--with no apologies to anyone else for once. I have to say 100% NYLON TRICOT since a lot of guys don't seem to know what that means. It's not a nylon lycra mix, it's not a nylon polyester mix (although it's not that bad), it's not shiny basketball shorts, it's not nylon acetate, onion skins, rayon, orlon or any other "on." I know it's supposed to be pronounced "tree - coe" but I've always said "try -cot" so that's the way it is.
I'm tired of hiding what types of nylon tricot I'm interested in. Since I'm regular, masculine guy I'm supposed to only like nylon Speedos (PRE lycra of course!), men's nylon underwear by Players or Jockey or even vintage Munsingwear or BVD. Maybe some vintage nylon shirts or even nylon pajamas and robes--especially ones by Munsingwear called "Trico-lon." It's their brand for super silky nylon tricot even though it sounds like another "on" kind of fabric. It's a pretty heavy, opaque super silky nylon and one of the best ever made.
Speaking of really good nylon, I have to say that nylon panties were made with some of the best nylon tricot. Yeah, yeah, I know the connotations. Not that I have to explain myself but:
1. I'm not a cross dresser or transvestite or transgendered--not that anything wrong with them.
2. I'm not into other women's clothing, bras, dresses, shoes, slips, wigs, make-up etc.
3. I'm not into cotton panties, lycra panties, or nylon panties lined with brushed nylon or cotton. I want all nylon and don't want my balls or dick head in cotton even if the rest of the panty is a good nylon.
The nylon that was used in vintage nylon especially by Lorraine, most Vassarette (division of Munsingwear), most Van Raalte (the "Queen of Panties"--pardon the pun), some really early Vanity Fair, and sometimes some brands like Shadowline or even JCP's Gaymode--what's up with that name? I can't believe they call full cut panties "Granny Panties" now. I want as much nylon coverage I can get so it's not about bikinis or other high cut or low cut ones.
Sometime in the 80's I think, they came out with this thin, cheap nylon called Antron III. There's another "on" but it's a thin, shiny, cheaper nylon that is more transparent. It seems to have invaded many panty companies. By the mid to late 70's they ruined panties by ending the double nylon crotch and started lining them with cotton or equally bad brushed nylon. It's when the whole cotton thing started--never the fabric of my life, for sure.
The major panty producers got worried about the whole "yeast infection" thing, started blending in lycra, making panties smaller and smaller to now they have string ones--YUCK. Now cotton seems to have won along with all sorts of stretchy fabrics and covered with lace and other crap.
Ok, enough on what I don't like. Just wanted to get this nylon and panty thing explained. There was a time right when I was maturing sexually that we had the big nylon tricot explosion in the late 60's until the mid to late 70's. WOW! Nylon shirts over nylon t-shirts or tank tops and any number of solid and patterned nylon tricot underwear. All sorts of jocks advertised nylon underwear to make it respectable. They mostly had fly openings, bright colors, and looked like regular cotton briefs (still mostly all white all cotton) to not be confused or associated with women's nylon panties. Jockey even came out with an underwear called "DP's" which were designed to be worn as swimwear or underwear. I was already wearing nylon Speedos as "masculine" underwear back then. The excuse was I was always ready for the beach or pool--yeah right. It was also a time when it was perfectly normal for guys to wear their nylon Speedos around. Now there are some pools that actually ban Speedos and guys wear dork shorts. It's sort of like Victorian times when seeing a knee was a big deal. I still remember when dickheads could be seen through nylon Speedos and no one tried to hide their masculinity. So I was in "nylon hog heaven!" It was respectable and accepted to wear nylon tricot for men and not have any feminine associations. JCP even made matching men and women's matching briefs. Nylon tricot surf shirts with matching Speedo style suit. Speedo and Dolfin even made nylon beach cover ups. Speaking of nylon Speedos, they came to us from Australia. They used something called "Bri-nylon". I assume it stood for British Nylon. Whatever it meant, it was really fantastic--so are their shirts from that period. Later they were made in the USA and eventually ruined by adding lycra and now those stupid body cover-ups. Mark Spitz won in nylon, what's wrong with that? It's funny about Bri-nylon today. I hve bought things on ebay thinking it was going to be the silky kind and it turned out to be like car upholstery.
Ok, for my first blog posting about nylon tricot, I think I've covered my basic interest in the silky fabric--whatever it was made into--even nylon sheets and pillow cases! Almost possible to slide out of bed wearing nylon pajamas!
Ok later...........
