Resort or beach club, where easy sophistication is essential, choose drawcord styles with a half-elasticated waistband, elevated drawcord ends and eyelets intwo lengths: Bulldog, Dane.
More relaxed, a little playful, ready to move. Put on one of our new fully elasticated waist, drawcord swim shorts. In three different lengths: Jack, Boxer, Mastiff.
OB launched in 2007 with one style in 4 lengths and 5 colours. After almost 20 years, OB Classic swim shorts are still our best-selling product. A swim short based on the pattern of a traditional man’s suit trouser – not a swim short, but a short you can swim in.
Every pair of is made with recycled plastic and over 60 components, designed to give you the perfect fit. This includes a 4-part shaped waistband, 2 side-fasteners and 3 pockets, including one with a zip to store your phone, cards or keys.
