THE FIRST MERINO WOOL SWIMSUIT

The new capsule of Woolmark-certified Merino wool trunks belongs to a long tradition of going where you least expect us.

From the early 70s, when Vilebrequin began making waves at the beach with its one-of-a-kind swim trunk design, nothing was off limits: African wax fabric, sailcloth, even linen! As long it tailored well, it was worth exploring.

So why not wool? Natural, renewable, water-friendly, a sartorial classic: Vilebrequin had to be the first to leap on the Merino swimsuit.

Vilebrequin brings 50-plus years of tailoring expertise to the swimsuit. Drawing on traditional methods for everything from weaving to pattern cutting and pocket placement, each pair of swim trunks demands an average of 32 steps. For elegance that lasts the years.

To mark Vilebrequin’s second summer with The Woolmark Company, we’ve added two new iconic men’s suiting references into the mix: safari-inspired khaki and the emblematic Prince of Wales check. Alongside navy, light gray, and classic gingham, each fabric has a timeless touch.
