This mid-1960s wetsuit is unusual in that it is tailored and features a distinctive floral print. Made of neoprene with printed nylon lining on the outside, it features diving suit-style metal clasps (surfers would leave these unfastened to prevent damage to their surfboards). Most wetsuit designs of this era were based on scuba-diving suits and weren't as flexible or well-designed as surfing wetsuits that would soon follow.
