LOOKBOOK
1. BRANDThe storyIn 2011, Michelle L’Huillier and Jelle de Jong founded Tom & Teddy. Their mission? To create a range of vibrant and contemporary swimwear that can be worn by men and boys of all ages. The 2012 launch range did just that with matching pairs for every big boy and little guy.
Tom & Teddy swim shorts look and feel great. They’re vibrant, durable and comfortable enough to wear all day long, both in and out of the water.
The spiritTom & Teddy symbolises a friendship between a father and his son. It’s about shared moments and fun times, when a boy wants nothing more than to be just like his dad.
We look to the Australian beachside lifestyle for our inspiration: the colours and the laid-back vibe of long, hot days by the water.
2. DESIGNMatching swimwear: for big guys and their little nippers! Our swim shorts are fun and fresh, and they appeal to juniors and adults alike. They are beautifully crafted, and we use bold colours and graphic motifs to create designs that always look and feel distinctly Tom & Teddy.
Sizing: even littlies can join in with their Tom & Teddies because our boys’ sizes start at 12 months. And for men, each and every pair is available in sizes Small right up XX Large.
Boy (years)1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12
MenSmall, Medium, Large, X Large, XX Large
Mid-thigh cut: unlike the traditional knee-length board short, Tom & Teddy swimmers are cut at the mid-thigh point, a universally flattering length.
Prints: we commission original graphic designs by a range of illustrators and artists to give our swim shorts a distinct and authentic edge.
3. DETAILSTom & Teddy swimwear meets exceptionally high specifications. From the consistency of our sizing to the stitching and finishing, we are fanatical about quality!
Outer fabricAll Tom & Teddy swim shorts are made in a super- soft, quick-dry microfibre fabric, so they’re extremely comfortable and a joy to wear.
Rear eyeletsThese small hoops are really important for good air circulation and to avoid the “blown” up look when you dive into the pool!
Back pocketA secure velcro fastening means this pocket isn’t just for decoration. Simply zip money or keys into a water-proof wallet and you can swim with your valuables.
Inner liningWe wanted the inside of our shorts to be just as soft as the outside, so we’ve chosen a 100% cotton mesh lining over the more traditional nylon netting.
Braided draw-cordThis tough cord makes the waistband secure and adjustable. It’s nicely finished off with Tom & Teddy silicon tips, so there’s no chance of fraying or unravelling.
4. COLLECTIONSMARINEFull of aquatic shapes and bright sunny colours, a pair of swimmers from our Marine range will have you ready for a few laps at the pool or a splash in the ocean in no time. Loved by boys and men alike, the distinctive designs are contemporary and unique, and are inspired by long, happy days at the beach.
