Orlebar Brown

Adam Brown founded Orelbar Brown after a few realisations that he had while on holiday for a friend’s 40th birthday. The first was that the women looked significantly better around the pool than men. The second, was that having to change out of swimwear to go for lunch, was a bit of a bore. Orlebar Brown was launched in 2007, and the brand hasn’t looked back since. Their range of versatile shorts are wonderfully reliable, made with quick-drying fabrics and signature side fasteners. Yet they are also beautifully chic in design, with a tailored fit unique to the brand, based on the traditional pattern of a man’s suit trouser. The brand also produces gorgeous designer polo shirts, knitwear, t-shirts, shirts, trousers, footwear, sweats, sunglasses, jackets and outwear, accessories, rash guards and a kids collection.
