Squints Swim Trunks
5:00 AM
My next batch of limited edition swim trunks are available for purchase!
School is almost out and summer and swimming is around the corner!
Inspired by the one and only...
Michael Squints Palledorous
from the movie The Sandlot.
For those that have seen the movie, you may remember that swimming pool scene where it was too much for Squints and he put the move on the lifeguard.
And in case you haven't seen it, here it is:
I watched this scene a lot to make sure the Squints shorts were as authentic as possible.
Either they filmed it with two different swim shorts, one with blue narrow side stripes, and one with out, or his swim trunks were lopsided with one side solid black and the other with a narrow blue side stripe.
So the Squints swim trunks are asymmetrical, with the right hip solid black and the left having a narrow blue side stripe.
The trunks are a variation of my euro swim trunks PDF pattern and are lined with a simple elastic waistband.
Your little man will love them "FOR....EV...ER!" "FOR..EV..ER!"
{my favorite Squints scene}

Dorky Squints glasses not included.
Just in case you're curious...here's squints grown up:
