Description
It takes a particular sort of someone to found a brand at the age of 40, and, 11 years later sell for a reported £50 million to Chanel. It turns out the Orlebar brown founder Adam Brown is precisely that type of person. Orlebar Brown has been busy making chic swimwear - ‘a short you can swim in’ - rather than your typical trunks. We chat to the swimwear supremo about his just-launched collaboration with IWC, which includes leisurewear as well as a particularly chic Portugieser. On top of that, we talk about what it takes to start a successful brand, and just what it’s like to see your trunks clinging to James Bond’s body. Finally, Felix and Andy talk about the criteria for a perfect travel watch.
