This vintage swimsuit was made in the 1960s by Campus Sportswear. This was part of the brief resurgence of 1920s men’s styles in the ’60s. This is a late ’20s or early ’30s style, a one piece, with side cutouts. There are belt loops for what would probably be a white web belt. The suit is marked a size 28-30.

Waist (stretched): 19″ (doubled = 38″)
Chest (unstretched): 13″ (doubled = 26″)

This vintage bathing suit was made in the mid 1930s. This was a transitional time between the age of one or two piece men’s bathing suits, and that of topless bathing suits. The top is detachable on this one via a Kwik zipper, which bears patents no 1752111, 1814244, and a third which is somewhat difficult to read. The trunks have a diamond gusseted crotch and belt loops. The top is striped.

Waist (unstretched): 8″ (doubled = 16″)
Waist (stretched): 12″ (doubled = 24″)
Side seam: 9″
Rise: 12″

This vintage men’s bathing suit is from the 1920s or early 1930s. No makers label, just a content label saying that it is part wool.  Feels like the rest is probably cotton, because, if anything, it feels like a soft cotton knit T-shirt.  It has a skirt and side cutouts. Sizing on these one pieces can be a bit tricky- please refer to the measurements. 
Waist unstretched: 13″ (doubled = 26″)
Waist stretched: 20″ (doubled = 40″ )
Shoulder to crotch unstretched: 22″   
Shoulder to crotch stretched: 26″
