FAQs
Can these shorts be worn as regular casual shorts?
Yes, the Bulldog fit is specifically designed to function as both swimwear and a casual summer short.
Do these shorts have an elastic waistband?
No, they feature a traditional fly and waistband construction with adjustable side fasteners for a tailored fit.
How should I wash them?
We recommend rinsing with fresh water after swimming and hand washing in cool water when necessary.
Are they true to size?
Yes, but because they are tailored, it is recommended to measure your waist accurately as they do not provide the stretch of standard athletic swim trunks.
Will the gold-effect hardware rust?
The hardware is designed for resort wear, but rinsing thoroughly after salt water contact will significantly prolong its lifespan.
What does 'Bulldog length' mean?
The Bulldog is Orlebar Brown's classic mid-length fit, typically falling just above the knee.
Troubleshooting
Side fasteners feel loose
Adjust the metal sliders firmly until the waistband sits securely against your hips.
Water spots or salt residue on hardware
Gently wipe the gold-effect components with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately with a microfiber towel.
Difficulty with the snap closure
Check for any trapped debris or sand inside the mechanism and clear it using a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the ideal fit, use the signature side fasteners to adjust the waistband before entering the water. Since these are based on tailored trousers, ensure you are wearing them at your natural waist for the intended aesthetic. For care, avoid machine drying as the heat can degrade the integrity of the synthetic fabric and damage the delicate gold-effect hardware. Instead, rinse with fresh water after every swim and hang them in a shaded, well-ventilated area to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue tones to fade over time.
