Frequently asked questions
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.
Every piece is designed at our Australian HQ and manufactured by our long-standing production partners in Indonesia. We've worked with the same factories for years because quality matters to us. You're getting premium surf clothing without the inflated price tag that comes with big corporate overheads.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Retro Polo Shirts & Vintage Surf Polos
Golden Breed retro polo shirts bring together vintage surf style and classic sporting influence, creating timeless pieces designed for comfort and everyday wear. From traditional polo styles to rugby-inspired tops, this collection reflects a relaxed approach to dressing shaped by decades of surf heritage.
Classic Surf Polos and Rugby Shirts
Polo shirts have long been part of surf and casual wear, offering a slightly more structured alternative to men's tees while still keeping things relaxed. Golden Breed’s range includes both classic polos and rugby-style tops, giving you versatile options that can be worn across different settings.
These are pieces that feel easy to wear, with clean lines and a timeless look that doesn’t rely on trends.
Vintage Surf Style for Men
This collection leans into Golden Breed’s signature vintage aesthetic, with designs inspired by the golden era of surf culture. Expect classic colourways, subtle striping, and heritage details that feel authentic and wearable.
Many styles are crafted from soft cotton and terry towelling fabrics, adding texture and breathability while maintaining structure.
The result is a range of polos that stand out without feeling overworked.
Comfortable and Easy to Wear
Golden Breed polo shirts are designed for all-day comfort, with relaxed fits and breathable materials that feel good from the moment you put them on. Whether worn on their own or layered, they offer a balance of structure and ease.
These are dependable pieces that can be worn on repeat, season after season.
Men's Polo Shirts
Polos offer a simple way to elevate your everyday look without losing comfort. Slightly more refined than a standard t-shirt, they work well when you want something a bit cleaner while still keeping a relaxed feel.
Pair them with boardshorts, cord shorts or our classic men's shorts for an easy, versatile outfit.
