James Bond Glen Check Swim Shorts - By Orlebar Brown

Introducing the James Bond Glen Check Swim Shorts - By Orlebar Brown.

Celebrating the anniversaries of Goldfinger (1964) and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Orlebar Brown's gold capsule takes inspiration from scenes and characters from each film and combines them with its signature tailoring and premium fabrics. Each element of the collection has been looked at, including a gold update for metal finishes, zip pulls and closures.

Backstory.  Inspired by the Glen check weave of Bond's suit in Goldfinger, the multi-directional check design creates a timeless optical effect. The gold-tone side adjusters have debossed 007 and Orlebar Brown logos, inspired by the golden bullet Scaramanga sends to MI6 in The Man with the Golden Gun

Details.  The design is crafted from unique cloth woven with the oversized check design in black and white threads. The shorts have a shaped waistband and adjustable side fasteners for a superior fit, closed with a concealed gold press stud and zip fly front fastening. Hip pockets and a single rear zipped welt pocket add functionality, while tailored darts give great shape. The shorts feature side splits for enhanced movement and are net lined for extra comfort and security. They come with a durable water-resistant drawstring bag to carry and protect your shorts when wet, or store your valuables by the pool. Made in Portugal from quick-drying 71% recycled polyester/29% polyamide, woven in Italy, tested to 50mg/l of chlorine.

Care.  Machine wash at 30 degrees
