• Nice print. From a distance.

    The shorts do the talking.

    All-over print, front to back, seam to seam. You just stand there.

  • Printed all the way around

    Four panels, one continuous design, lined up across the seams. Not a front print with a blank back and a hope.

  • Built to actually swim in

    140gsm quick-dry polyester, white mesh liner, real drawcord. Opaque wet. Dry by the time you reach the car.

  • Cut to Australian sizing

    30 to 38, measured the way you'd expect. No conversion chart, no surprise when the parcel lands.

    The Range

    Every pair we make. Printed all the way around, lined in white mesh, cut to Australian sizing.

    We'd rather have four shorts people talk about than forty nobody mentions.

    Buying it for someone?

    He doesn't need another koozie, another "World's Best Dad" mug, or another pair of socks he'll wear once.

    Order by Friday 11 December and he's wearing it on the 26th.

    For the bloke who has everything

    Why "Cheeky Rip"?

    A rip is the thing every Australian kid is taught to respect. Swim between the flags. Don't panic. Raise an arm and wait.

    We named a pair of swim shorts after it. There's no deeper story.

    The whole story

    Before you ask

    Is it see-through when it's wet?

    No. It's 140gsm polyester, which is the weight where a printed short stays opaque soaked. Plenty of novelty shorts are made at 100–120gsm to hit a price, and you find out the hard way. We didn't do that.

    none

    Does the print line up across the back seam?

    That's the whole job. The artwork is drawn as one continuous piece and then sliced to the four panel shapes, so the design meets at the seams instead of being four separate pictures stitched together and hoped for.

    none

    Why does delivery take 10–15 days?

    Because it ships direct from our manufacturing partner instead of sitting in an Australian warehouse first. That's a real trade-off and we're not going to dress it up: you wait longer, and in exchange the short is $59.95 instead of $89.

    What if I order the wrong size?

    Tell us within 30 days, unworn with the liner intact, and we'll send the right size at half price — you keep the first pair. No posting anything back across the world.
