Swimmingly Perfect Beachware

The perfect combination of utility and fashion. Birdwell is highly known and these 806 Boardshorts are perfect on the beach.

Nice shorts

I’ve never had a pair of Birdwell ‘s before because the inseam has always been too long but the 6” inseam is perfect. Other than still being too expensive, these shorts are great and I really like the orange color.

Looking forward to trying a smaller size, the material feels like it will be comfortable.

Sizing can be challenging

Love the quality and style but - I’ve found the 33’ size to big and the 32’ size to small - kind of frustrating when you spend this much on trunks. I live in trunks (fishing and surfing 5 days a week on pohnpei in Micronesia) so having quality that fit is important. My wife says to either loose weight or gain and stop winning.

Do something about you're shipping

The products you sell are great, no complaints there at all. But waiting around 3 weeks for delivery in today's world is ridiculous.

My favorite

Kept hesitating to purchase due to the price but I am happy I finally did. Great fit. No too long and not too short. Provides perfect amount of stretch and you can tell they are made to last. Did I say that they look amazing also? Classic short that will never go out of style. The only thing is the are somewhat lighter orange than what's in the picture and on the site. Just wished they offered free shipping especially at the price of the shorts. Other wise I couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Great customer service

I bought the wrong size and Birdie made it super easy to return it and get the right size. Oh, and the shorts are fantastic. I used to wear these when I was a teenager, loved them then and still love them now.

Mahalo!

Tryin' out the side pocket action, so far so good with lap swimming. . . Experienced some lag with CS getting back and not sure if exchange hold was released. . .

The color rocks. The white stitch is a premium detail. The cut is classic. I’m 165lbs and the size 30 is spot on. Just wearing this transports me to the sand and surf.

Not as good as previous years

The new drawstring is a step down in quality. Additionally the fit feels looser or bigger as well. Quality of the material is still high, just feels a step down in craftsmanship which is saw after a 20% price increase YOY

Goos shorts

This is my second pair. I like them. Sizing is still hard to figure. But, good comfort and fit. I still wish you would bring back the lighter cotton t-shirts because the newer ones are not nearly as comfortable in warm climates
