Over 40 years and four generations of family ownership later, very little at Birdwell has changed. We’re amped to offer Birdwell’s original 301 and 303 Britches (the latter features a slightly longer inseam), which are still constructed from the same ultra-fast-drying nylon fabric, and stitched together with a rugged nylon thread. You’ll also find Birdwell’s purpose-forward, chafe-free fit in the vivid hues of a California summer. Oh, and one more thing hasn’t changed: they’re still lovingly made right down the coast in Santa Ana, where it all began. Grab your pintail and load up the Woody — that cool buzz awaits.
