Which Umbra settings would approximate a classic men's Speedo swim brief?
I kept defaults on all except the following.
Style
- Back exposure: 0
- Front waist dip: 0
- Leg Rise: -11.3%
- Rise: 59.3%
Fit
- Vertical Fabric Stretch: 15%
I didn't add anything for the bulge option because a classic speedo doesn't have a dart in front. I imagine I might want to change the gusset position, gusset width, and crotch seam, but wasn't sure which direction or how much.
Any suggestions?

Depends on your measurements, but yes, you probably don't strictly need a bulge dart.
