Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your Orlebar Brown experience, from our tailored swim shorts to global delivery.

What makes Orlebar Brown swim shorts unique?

Unlike traditional swim shorts, ours are 'shorts you can swim in.' Based on the pattern of a man's traditional tailored trouser, they feature a four-part shaped waistband, zip fly, and signature adjustable side fasteners for a superior fit.

How long does international shipping take?

We offer global shipping with standard and express options. Standard delivery typically takes 3-5 business days, while express shipping arrives within 1-2 business days depending on your location.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 28-day return policy for all items, provided they are in their original condition with all tags and hygiene strips intact. Returns are free for customers in select regions including the UK and US.

What is the '5-Year Guarantee' on swim shorts?

We are confident in the quality of our craftsmanship. Our signature 'OB Classic' swim shorts (Bulldog, Dane, Setter, and Springer) come with a 5-year guarantee, covering manufacturing defects to ensure your shorts last for many holidays to come.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. We also support digital payment methods such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay for a seamless checkout experience.

How do I find my perfect size?

Each product page features a detailed 'Size & Fit' guide. Since our shorts are tailored, we generally recommend choosing your usual trouser waist size. If you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up and using the side fasteners to adjust for the perfect fit.
