Orlebar Brown

Launched in readiness for summer 2007, Orlebar Brown created a more grown up, tailored pair of shorts.

Using French fabrics, Italian zips and made in either the UK or Portugal, Orlebar Brown describe their shorts as a 'bridge item' in that they can be worn on and off the beach and still look good. Made from polyamide, their shorts are quick-drying and therefore versatile.

They're not cheap but good stuff rarely is. What's more important here is value for money, and while Orlebar Brown shorts aren't something you'll buy impulsively, that's probably a good thing. You really do get what you pay for.

These remind us of Sean Connery in Dr No. They have a neat, slim silhouette and come with an ace bag too.

Orlebar Brown shorts are not strictly a swimming short, more a short you can swim in - an important distinction.
