Lane 3 - The Huffington Post has "Your Classic Speedo Started Off As Something Much More Risqué. The company, which was founded by Alexander MacRae, a Scot living in Australia, started as a factory that produced socks during World War I.

And while you may think that the bikini caused controversy when it came on the scene, when Speedo first introduced the racerback suit in the late 1920s, it was banned on many beaches because it showed so much shoulder."
