Men’s Shirts & Short Sleeve Surf Shirts
Golden Breed men’s shirts are designed for comfort, versatility, and effortless everyday wear. From bold Hawaiian prints to lightweight linen and textured cord shirts, this collection brings together a range of styles suited to warm weather and relaxed dressing.
Vintage Hawaiian Shirts
Hawaiian shirts have long been part of surf culture, known for their bold prints and relaxed feel. Golden Breed reworks this classic style with vintage-inspired patterns and easy fits that feel authentic without being overdone.
These are shirts designed to stand out while still being easy to wear, whether you're heading out or keeping things casual.
Lightweight Linen Shirts for Warm Days
Linen shirts are a go-to for warmer conditions, offering natural breathability and a soft, lightweight feel. Golden Breed linen styles are designed to keep you cool and comfortable, with relaxed silhouettes that work across different settings.
Ideal for long days in the sun or laid-back evenings, linen shirts deliver effortless comfort with a clean, timeless look.
Textured Cord Shirts for Everyday Wear
Cord shirts bring a subtle texture and structure to the collection, offering something slightly more elevated while still staying true to a relaxed aesthetic. Soft yet durable, these styles are designed to be worn on repeat.
They work well layered or on their own, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Designed for Versatility
Golden Breed men’s shirts are made to move with you throughout the day. From lightweight summer options to more textured styles, each piece is designed to pair easily with boardshorts, cord shorts or men's casual shorts.
The focus is on simplicity, comfort, and wearability.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Golden Breed different from other surf brands?
We're one of the last fully Australian-owned surf brands left. While Quiksilver, Rip Curl and Billabong sold off to overseas corporations, we stayed independent, family-run and focused on making gear for people who actually live the surf lifestyle. No boardrooms, no shareholders - just a crew that surfs before work and designs clothes they'd wear themselves. We've been doing this since 1969.
What's the quality like compared to the bigger surf brands?
On par or better - and we're not just saying that. We use premium cotton for our tees, quality cord and twill for our shorts, and breathable linen cotton for our shirts. The difference is we don't charge you extra to cover massive marketing budgets and sponsorship deals. You're paying for the product, not the billboard.
Can I try Golden Breed on before buying online?
Absolutely. We've got five stores across Australia's best surf towns - Noosa Heads (our flagship, dubbed the Temple of Stoke), Byron Bay, Manly, Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula, and Seminyak in Bali. Walk in, try things on, have a chat with the crew. If you're not near a store, our size guide is detailed and we offer 30-day returns if the fit isn't right.
Is Golden Breed for men and women?
Always has been. Our iconic logo has represented both men and women since 1967 - Golden Breed was built for everyone before that was a marketing buzzword. We carry full men's and women's ranges plus kids, and plenty of our customers shop across both. The surf doesn't care what you wear, and neither do we.
Do you restock sold-out items?
Yes - most popular styles come back regularly. We restock based on demand, so the pieces you love usually return in the same colours plus new ones. The best way to know the second something's back is to join our email list. Our restock emails are our most popular sends for a reason.
What are your best sellers?
The Floyd Walkshort is our most iconic short - it sells out every drop. The 70's Ringer Tee is a cult classic that's been going since the beginning. Our Hawaiian shirts are a summer staple, and the Lazy Beach swim range has a growing following. Check out our Best Sellers for Men and Women to see what's moving right now.
