The Piper Podcast Series 4 'How I Grew My Brand' Adam Brown from Orlebar Brown - The poolside idea that became a global brand legend owned by Chanel
Oh, Pool Boy! We are talking summer menswear this week, and we have one burning question: Is the Cabana Suit back? What the hell is a cabana suit, anyway? Jump into the deep end with us, as we unpack the recent resurrection of retro, mid-century era matching short sets for men. Why you say? Well, we don't really know, except that they are showing up on men everywhere, from Bruno Mars to NBA stars and beyond. The Wall Street Journal recently covered this phenomenon in a recent article called “Cabana Suits: The Summer Outfit of Choice for NBA Stars and Honeymooners,” where the first line threw us for a loop: “Guys are suiting up in quirkily printed cabana sets to inject some summer frivolity into their warm-weather wardrobes.” We dive into the Who, What, Where and WHYYYYYY? Picture James Bond with his toned and tanned manly figure in a wildly printed or striped short-sleeve camp shirt (unbuttoned all the way, of course) over matching swim shorts. He has a martini in his hand on a boat in the French Riviera, and DAMMIT, he is sexy! Hop forward half a century, and we are not so sure it works for today's man. We've posted photos on social so you can join in on the debate: Hot or Not? We swim all around the styles men should and should not wear this summer. It's a Summer Hot Mess Express, and you need to jump on. Did Nolan really say he'd be up for wearing an Orlebar Brown terrycloth man romper? Yes, yes he did. He also notes, again, that spending $300 on a men's bathing suit makes him CRAZY! No matter how beautiful they are. Of course, the debate goes off track entirely to discuss a men's Balmain pea coat, just because Holly and Nolan fell in love with one. From summer wardrobes and winter coats to recent fashion finds at Bergdorf, and to whether or not Nolan can truly commit to the Cabana Suit - it's a swimmingly good time on the Fashion Crimes Podcast this week! IN THIS EPISODE: [00:54] “Hey, hey, hey everyone what is going on? Thank you for tuning in to the Fashion Crimes Podcast. I am your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz, and I'm here with you today. We are discussing men's wear today. And of course, this is certainly an area of expertise for my stylist, my bestie, my confidant, my rock, personal stylist, celebrity stylist, end all, be all, best gay: Mr. Nolan Meader!” [1:57] “And I just want to say that, you know, if your husband looks bad, I always say that's your fault, not your fault, but the wives' fault, because they don't know how to guide their husbands.” [3:29] “When you're dressing in dad mode: khaki pants, cargo shorts, fucking Crocs, Berks, Converse, you know, whacked-out polos that, you know, polos that with the rib collar? Just no, you know what I'm saying?” [5:09] “On the topic of the… what are they? What are you calling them? Oh, anyway, I've seen the Dior ones and they're like monogram oblique print and it's all silk. And I'm like, why would you want it to be total silk? No, I don't feel like anybody looks good and silk. Really? Unless you're six foot tall, blonde, Russian girl!” [6:14] “So I know this is like a Bruno Mars thing because he's been wearing these for years. But like he can pull it off. Right? I think it's like if you're a celebrity, you know, you can pull it off. But I just think it's interesting because it's actually a style from the 60s that's coming back.” [6:32] “But in the old days, I think it's Orlebar Brown did all the bathing suits for James Bond movies. And, they brought back a thing, there was a man romper. Essentially, one of them from the 60s, it was like a terry cloth, beachy-thing, and they just brought it back and did a reissue of it, which was actually very cute.” [12:56] “Anyway, I don't put money in like, a (swim) suit. I don't give a shit about putting money in a bathing suit.” [15:59] “I was in Bergdorf Goodman last week with a couple of friends. And, you know, we had a couple of drinks. You know, we boarded the martini train, as I like to say, and we go to the Chanel department.” [17:54] “But, what is so interesting about it, is it's the cut of it. It is very, I mean, it's kind-of tailored, but the way the lapels are, they're very square. And then at the top, they're very sharp and the top cuts across the chest and goes into a black hood. It's like a slouchy hood, like Gucci hood. So it's a super tailored fabulous jacket, with this like slouchy, mushy like hood. I'm into it. It's a fabulous coat.” [26:23] “It's undecided if I find one, I mean actually no, quick side note, Louis Vuitton did friends in New York and one came in a cabana suit. He was wearing the watercolor shirt from the cabana suit and I literally ripped it off of his body and wore it for like an hour and a half.” [27:37] “So, what IS the shoe of choice to wear to the pool, for men? [30:06] “Thank you so much for listening. If you have any menswear questions, hit us up. If your husband looks like ass, let us know. If you know someone who needs help - your brother, your cousin, your neighbor - hit us up. We're full of useless information.” KEY TAKEAWAYS: Many men's brands, at various price points, have brought back retro matching short sets for men. The upside of the new trend? They are colorful, a bit dressy, and fun addition to your wardrobe. The downside? Many are made of silk, which makes no sense for summer weather, and some designs are too outrageous (and pricey!) for anyone other than celebrities and sports stars. Even though summer weather is hot and sticky, men do not need to dress like slobs. Skip the cargo shorts and old shirts. Cool, comfortable and stylish alternatives for updating your wardrobe are easy and simple to find. Our co-hosts (and professional stylists) are truly here to offer a variety of helpful fashion insights on the dos and don'ts of what to wear – in the most lovingly way possible! But we can't promise they won't roll their eyes, or use lots of swear words.

And it's because you don't know what to do, and you don't care enough to try to figure it out.” – Holly Katz "I mean, Nolan, to see you in a terry cloth man romper? I would love that. That would give me life. I'm just saying: That. Would. Give. Me. Life!” – Holly Katz “If you're someone my age, right, I don't have unlimited income to buy whatever I want all the time. So, my thought is, I need to put my money into things that I get the most enjoyment out of, which for me, are bags and shoes, and coats. For you, that's shoes. Shoes are your kryptonite.” – Nolan Meader
This week, Aleks sits down with Olivia Francis, the founder of luxury men's underwear and loungewear brand, Hamilton & Hare. Olivia is on a campaign to elevate men's undies, and to get men thinking about the importance of their underwear drawer in a very different way; valuing quality, longevity and comfort every bit as highly as you would in a pair of shoes or a handmade suit.We hear about her decision to leave advertising to establish her own business, talk about the highs and lows of life as a sole founder, and explore the art of making boxer shorts without compromise.

Jeremy Langmead is arguably one of the most influential figures in British men’s lifestyle media today. He began his career working in prestigious newspapers like the Sunday Times and Evening Standard, before editing Wallpaper and Esquire magazines, and of course he was the founding editor at Mr Porter, where we are about to pick up the story.We quizzed Jeremy on just what it was like to launch the first seriously big multi-brand e-tailor, heard about some of his many challenges and learnings along the way, and we get his take on the perils of navigating digital media in this frankly crazy landscape.

Based in London, Orlebar Brown was founded by Adam Brown and launched in March 2007 as a tailored approach to men's swim shorts. OB Classic swim shorts remain the original and best ‘short you can swim in', offering something you can wear on the beach or by the pool, yet smart enough to wear to lunch or for a drink. In 2010, they progressed from beach to resort with a full range of holiday clothes that can also be incorporated into everyday wardrobes, including polos, chinos and shirts. In addition, they offer a Design Your Own service which enables you to create your own bespoke pair of photographic swim shorts using the #SnapShorts app in-store or online. Adam came up with the idea for Orlebar Brown “by accident” in 2005 when on holiday in Rajasthan for a friend's 40th birthday. Sat around the pool, Adam noticed that while the women in the group looked great, the men did not – which became even more apparent when only the men had to change their clothes to have lunch in the bar. In this episode of the MenswearStyle Podcast we interview Adam Brown, Founder of Orlebar Brown about the founding story of the brand and how he launched the label with just one product, men's swim shorts. Our host Peter Brooker and Adam also talk about dressing James Bond in Skyfall and how they were given access to explore the Eon Productions film archives when designing their popular 007 casual clothing collections. Adam Brown will be sharing his best advice on utilising data insights to understand customers and minimise business costs at Vodafone's #ThoseWhoDare virtual conference on Thursday 20th May 2021. As part of its ambition to support SMEs, the week-long event will feature keynotes from over 30 dynamic and game-changing entrepreneurs.

This week, Neil is back and brimming with opinions. We talk about Orlebar Brown swimming trunks, Neil's upcoming nuptials and how mean we have been about him on the podcast. We also discuss some insolvency news too, with comments on the CPI results, an interesting email from Bill Birch and the future of cinema.
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.

A bumper packed episode this week. Matt Spaiser joins to talk about the release of the new Orlebar Brown X 007 Heritage Collection released today.

*Full disclosure, as mentioned on Twitter and Facebook already, while the overall audio quality of this episode is fine, listeners will certainly detect a distinct static noise in the background. We had some technical difficulties that were only fixed in the second hour of our discussion. Part 2 will sound much better! Hello dear listeners! (breathes in intensely through nostrils) Can you smell it? That's the smell of excitement that comes when we are at the dawn of a new James Bond film. It stands to reason the film will make a lot of money. Further adding to the studios coffers will be tie-in products such as ‘'making of books'', Orlebar Brown and N. Peal clothing collections, specialty bottles of various alcoholic beverages, etc. But how else can an intellectual property such as 007 earn more bounty? How could one EXPAND the franchise and seduce more fans? Listeners may remember in the spring of 2018 we released The Bond Expansion Volume 1 in which Mathieu and Edgar offered ideas as to how the franchise can break new ground. Well, out of the ashes of Edgar's decrepit amusement park and in the aftermath of Mathieu's cancelled pilot episode of Agents of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. comes another attempt at helping EON, Danjaq and co. reach new heights of glory. Welcome to The Bond Expansion Volume 2! But this time, they're not alone! Our man in the field, the international man of mystery himself Jason Kim joins in on the fun, as does a voice that should be familiar to those that listened to the French version of our “Demain de meurt jamais” episode (that's TND for those that aren't fluent in Molière speak), Rodrigo Gonzalez. In Part 1 of this epic 2-part bonanza, Jason and Rodrigo each take their turn at exploring the infinite possibilities. Creativity, edge of your seat excitement…controversy? The ideas are so clever and at times hilarious, we won't even bother to spoil them with inside jokes in this synopsis. You'll just have to listen to the episode! Sit back, relax, and open your mind to how the James Bond phenomenon can take on even greater shapes and forms!

When you start a business, you should always be thinking about what your end goal is, says Adam Brown, founder of luxury swimwear brand Orlebar Brown, on the latest episode of the Innovators podcast. In Brown’s case, it was the eventual acquisition by none other than Chanel. During this episode, Brown tells us just why the acquisition is a match made in heaven, how he is bringing sustainability into the brand in a creative way, and how brands can get the luxury consumer to forget about the price tag.
