Orlebar Brown built a business on one observation: a man on a beach holiday spends the day between water and a table and needs a garment that works at both. The answer was a tailored short with side fasteners rather than a drawstring.
Why it is the right shop for this quay
Everything else on the promenade is a house that also happens to be here. This is a product designed for precisely this day: a boat in the morning, lunch on a terrace, no time to change in between.
The five-year guarantee is worth noting because swimwear is a category where almost nobody makes a durability claim at all.
The pillar file has the rest of the promenade.
