A man with blond hair and a mustache stands barefoot on a sandy beach at sunset. He is wearing dark sunglasses, a slate Birdwell Quilt Lined Comp jacket with two horizontal black stripes across the chest, and dark pants with the cuffs rolled up. His hands are in his jacket pockets as he looks off to the side. Behind him, gentle waves crash onto the shore, and the golden light of the setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene.

Since 1961.

Birdwell was born in Santa Ana, California when Carrie Birdwell - Mann started making some of the first boardshorts purpose-built for surfers all over the California coast. She called them Beach Britches. With a function first design and a commitment to durability, we've been hand-making boardshorts in the USA since 1961. Today, we make a full line of apparel and accessories for a beach lifestyle filled with function and fun. Quality is still our Gimmick.
