Father & Son Matching Beachwear

The Tom & Teddy Story

"In 2010 I moved to Singapore having spent ten years living beachside in Sydney. Being the first Father’s Day for my husband and 11-month-old son, Tom, I had my heart set on buying matching father and son swim shorts as a special gift. After a failed attempt to find something I liked either in-store or online, the idea of creating a fun, high-quality product took hold. I had learned a fair amount about swimwear over the years in Australia ? I’d seen how most swim trunks took ages to dry when friends left huge puddles of water under the cafe seats; and in those days, even in beach-fanatical Australia, there was extraordinarily little choice for men or boys beyond the baggy knee-length, surf-brand boardshorts. There was definitely room in the market for an altogether more flattering and versatile swim trunk ? one that could be worn all day long, either in or out of the water."
