Archbold. This limited-edition collection, created for Archy's Garage, embodies the spirit of surfing while showcasing the unique styles and craftsmanship that both brands stand for.
Celebrating Authentic Surf Culture
Launched on January 23, 2025, Birdwell's new collection captures the essence of timely surf culture and Archbold's renowned flair for individuality. Known for his boundary-pushing style, Archy has shaped the sport of surfing, and now he brings that energy to a new line of clothing that captures the waves' essence and lifestyle.
The collaboration highlights Birdwell's rich history in crafting boardshorts since 1961, combined with Archy’s rebellious spirit and adventurous surf culture. Eric Crane, CEO of Birdwell, noted, "Growing up, I was always inspired by Matt Archbold and the way he pushed the limits of surfing with his style, both in and out of the water." This collaboration is a nod to that same inspiration, merging practicality with style that caters to enthusiasts both on the beach and beyond.
Key Features of the Collection
The capsule includes several standout pieces designed for maximum performance and comfort:
Archy's Garage 3001 Boardshort
These boardshorts are a quintessential piece of the collection, featuring cutting-edge technology and Birdwell’s decades of expertise. Crafted from a lightweight, quick-drying recycled polyester, the 3001 Boardshorts promise zero chafing and incredible 4-way stretch, making them ideal for high-performance surfing conditions.
Architected for comfort, they boast bonded back pockets sealed with YKK™ Aquaguard™ zippers, ensuring your essentials stay dry. Added details include reinforced grommets, silicone labeling, and a stylish branded patch that makes these boardshorts not just functional but also a fashion statement. Retailing for $150, they embody both innovation and style.
Archy's Garage Coach's Jacket
In addition to the boardshorts, the Coach's Jacket is another highlight, reflecting a blend of utility and speed tailored for beach days and beyond. The sleek nylon fabric, enhanced with a unique Archy's Garage print, gives it a sporty yet sophisticated edge. Practical features like elastic cuffs and side seam pockets enhance comfort and usability, priced at $50.
Merging the classic and modern, these apparel pieces represent a commitment to quality and style that Birdwell is known for, ensuring they are functional on land as much as in the surf.
Future Collaborations
Fans of Archy’s Garage can anticipate a second capsule collection dropping later this year, focusing on USA-made products, further emphasizing the brand's dedication to local craftsmanship and quality.
