NOTE: All flags would be identified and their meanings "decoded" by means of a simplified flag recognition guide.

The flags are read like a book - left to right, top to bottom, turn the page (check out the behind). The flag or flags are identified and the resulting signal looked up alphabetically.

Sample Handbook Pages - Rough Draft

    

For the wearer, the selection of one's swimwear then becomes as simple as shopping through the alphabet for their unique Scuttlebutts swimwear.

Further to the note above, it is envisioned that the flag recognition guide be available online or in traditional bricks and mortar swimwear outlets. The guide further lends itself to the production of a compact Scuttlebutts owners manual, a mini "Flags for Dummies" type of handbook. This singles passport to the buzz on the beach would be offered with each Scuttlebutts purchase or as a stand-alone paperback destined to become the must-have handbook of cool in the new millennium.

This handbook can convert an outing at the beach to the anticipation of a spectator event, where observer aspires to be a player.
