As featured in
One short. Designed to outperform them all.
We rebuilt the swim short from the fabric up — for the guy who refuses to change at lunch.
Buttery Soft
Our OceanKnit™ feels like cashmere — designed for hours of wear, not just a quick swim.
Dries in 8 Min
Three times faster than traditional swim shorts. Out of the water, into lunch.
Tailored 5-Inch
A modern, flattering cut that doesn't ride up. Move freely. Look sharp.
Ocean Plastic
Each pair removes 11 bottles from the sea — and funds seaweed reforestation.
OceanKnit™
Premium recycled fabric

Bottles per pair
Feels like cashmere. Performs like nylon.
We took the comfort of premium loungewear and engineered it to swim. OceanKnit™ is woven from recovered ocean plastic into a yarn that's softer, lighter, and dries faster than anything else in your closet.
Blauw vs. the rest.
From sunrise to last call.

Don't take our word for it.
True to size. The 5-inch inseam sits just above the knee for a modern, athletic silhouette. If you're between sizes, size down — the OceanKnit™ stretches.
Yes — that's the entire point. The OceanKnit™ fabric is woven to feel like premium loungewear. No chafing, no stiffness, no swim-trunk crunch. You can absolutely wear them from a morning swim through dinner.
8 minutes at room temperature, ~3 minutes in direct sunlight. Three times faster than traditional poly swim shorts.
We work with certified partners who collect HDPE plastic from coastal regions. It's cleaned, shredded, melted into pellets, and spun into yarn. Each pair removes the equivalent of 11 plastic bottles from the ocean.
30 days, no questions asked. Try them on, swim in them, wear them out — if you don't love them, we'll cover return shipping and refund you in full.
One short.
Every occasion.
