Love & Peace & Happiness = BIRDWELL

As always, I bought them for my hubby and as always, he’s as happy as a dude can be, like on a 4-5‘ 18 seconds, wind blowing offshore kinda day.
Those 312ers are the best since someone made wax for boards.
Pura Vida!

Birdie rules

I have been wearing Birdwell’s for 40 years. I will always miss the Velcro sound of the past but today’s britches are 110% the same great product I wore in the 70s. The order process and customer service are 1st class. I now have my sons wearing them and they love they just as much as I do.

Palmetto Birdwell’s

Absolutely love my Birdwell custom patch beach britches. I haven’t had a pair since I was in high school and they didn’t disappoint! Love the quality and the feel- adding the custom patch made them even that much better!

Sweet pair of baggies...

Wanted a pair of custom board shorts...with the help from their customer service, which is also five stars, figured out exactly what size I needed, filled out the questionnaire and a few weeks later got exactly what I ordered. After 5 days, my wife said I needed to wear something else.

Beach Britches 312

I give the 312 five stars due to the fit, quality and durability of the fabric and construction of the shorts themselves. I have worn Birdwell beach britches for 35 years now and have found no other shorts that compare.....Birdwell is the best, hands down!!!!

You just cannot beat Birdwell!

I just bought a pair of Birdwell 312 Board Shorts and I love them more than I expected! The quality is top shelf, the fit is excellent, and I've already had several comments on how I got the patches on my pair (I went with a peace symbol and state flag).

Worth every penny and these are now my 'go to' pair everyday!

Birdwell 312s Last a Lifetime

The greatest boardshorts because they last forever. I’ve worn Birdies for 30 years. Hope the revive the 312 line with a full lineup. Offer the old school patches and customize them.

Birdwell Beach Britches

Simply the best boardshorts you can buy. Bulletproof boardies. I hope Birdwell does a full run of 312s. Love the long length. I’ve been wearing Birdwells for 30 years and the 312s are the best. I’m 6’3” 185lbs. Size 34

Longer shorts?

The fact that there are very few options for tall people like me, I’m 6’-4” minimize my options to procure a product I love. More long shorts would be great!
