Piece of the Week: Birdwell Beach Britches
Quick! Summer’s almost over and the heat’s here for just a while longer. Snag the right mid-thigh swimsuit while you can still hit the beach.
We’re always on the hunt for the perfect bathing suit. And with many brands reluctant to enter the field and design their own trunks, we’re left with only a few proper fitting suits from brands that want to charge you an arm and a leg.
We’re often pretty keen on guys like Parke and Ronen. But what about that good old fashioned suit that just looks and feels right? The simple guy that flatters your form and makes you feel masculine and not overstated?
Potentially one of our favorite logos for any brand we've ever seen
Birdwell Beach Britches. Birdwell is a Cali based surfwear company, so you know they do waterwear right. We say go with their original 301 model; this thing is s a natural fitting mid-thigh short that comes in some fun summery bright colors, without stinging the eyes.
We admire the classic fit because it shows just the right amount of your upper leg — without entering into feminine territory. The risk of shorts that are long and loose through the leg is that your body is dwarfed and you look stocky. This can work for some of our favorite friends on MTV’s Jersey Shore, but for most guys, the safest bet is a classic pair of trunks that makes the body look long and lean. And that’s why we love Birdwell — especially when these “britches” are only $50.

I like these, but that might be the worst web site ever…
That website is indeed terrible. And what’s the deal with their attitude? On their homepage almost all the way down they start threatening about how they can see that it’s worn if you return it and that there are tell tale signs and don’t even try buddy because we will know. What a bunch of bogus. And what is this Thousand Club? They keep score of how many people return the swimsuits and claim guarantee and place them in their little hall of shame? This must be, in more ways than one, the most customer unfriendly bunch I’ve seen in a while.
