Kahala x Birdwell - 311 Boardshort

$150.00
/

Kahala is proud to collaborate with Birdwell, a brand that shares our passion for quality and style. We are excited to introduce the Kahala x Birdwell collection featuring the Kahala take on the iconic Birdwell board shorts, the 311 Boardshort made with our custom Birdwell Duke's Pareo print. 

 The Birdwell brand has a rich history dating back to 1961 when surf mom Carrie Birdwell Mann created the first Birdie board shorts for her sons. Her inspiration came from the sails of boats docked at Newport Beach and she sought to make safer and more functional shorts for surfers. Her signature nylon fabric, SurfNyl™️, and two-layer construction with triple seams made Birdwell an American icon. 

 The 311 Boardshort is a medium-length version of Ms. Birdwell's original design, which has been improved over 50 years of field testing by surfers and lifeguards. Each pair is hand-cut from our proprietary SurfNyl™️ fabric and sewn by expert craftspeople in Santa Ana, California. With a button fly, adjustable tab closure, and contrast stitch, these shorts strike the perfect balance between the past and present. 

  • SurfNyl™ 100% Nylon exterior with 100% Cotton Broadcloth lining 
  • Triple lace closure with nickel-plated grommets 
  • Collaboration "Birdie" woven label on center back of waistband 
  • Signature Birdwell wax pocket with key loop and drain hole 
  • Nylon drawcord 
  • Button fly with clear buttons 
  • Medium length. Outseams range between 17" - 21" depending on waist size.  
  • Fail safe clean finished double and triple-stitched seams. 
  • Hand cut and sewn in Santa Ana, California 
  • Machine wash cold. No Bleach. Hang dry only.
