Story & heritage
Orlebar Brown launched in 2007 with the idea that swim shorts should feel tailored enough to travel from pool to lunch, and Bulldog was the first OB Classic that defined the brand's silhouette.
This black version keeps the original mid-length shape and the adjustable side-fastener construction that made the line a departure from ordinary board shorts.
Materials & craft
Built from 60 components, with a quick-drying outer and signature side fasteners, Bulldog is patterned like a tailored trouser rather than a board short.
The water-resistant drawstring bag that ships with the shorts reinforces the travel-first logic.
How to choose & style
Black is the cleanest entry point: it sharpens the leg line and works with almost any resort shirt.
Choose Bulldog when you want the classic OB proportion rather than the shorter Setter or longer Dane.
