Tidal Stripe

You found the water
everyone else drove past.

Turquoise, deep teal, cream, and olive, moving the way a current moves. Found somewhere between the trail and the actual water, which feels about right.

Cuts Four. Same current.

The premise
"Not every swim needs lanes, tiled walls, or a lifeguard watching the clock."

Sometimes it's a creek beside the trail. Sometimes it's a waterfall you heard before you saw. Sometimes everyone gets in wearing whatever they happened to bring.

Tidal Stripe knows this kind of water. Loose bands of turquoise, deep teal, warm stone, and olive move across the suit like the current underneath them. Natural, a little restless, and better once it's wet.

Meet you where the trail gets wet.

The print in the wild

Real water.
Not the hotel pool.

The print

Made to get wet

  1. 01
    All-over pattern.

    Not a detail. The whole brief. Loose, uneven bands, edge to edge, exactly what you think it is at first glance.

  2. 02
    Made in Hamilton.

    Every element drawn from scratch in the HAC studio in Hamilton, Ontario. Not sourced. Made.

  3. 03
    Built for moving water.

    Quick dry, chlorine and salt resistant. Creek-safe, waterfall-safe, whatever-you-find-on-the-trail-safe.

  4. 04
    Made for the second location.

    Not the hotel pool. The creek beside the trail, the waterfall you heard before you saw it, wherever everyone ends up.

The fit

Pick the cut. We'll handle the rest.

Quick dry. Inner drawcord where it counts. Chlorine and salt resistant, so if the day takes you from pool to creek to wherever, your swim brief keeps up. Made in Hamilton, in small batches.

Built for wherever you end up.
Basic Mid rise, 3-inch side The one everyone starts with. Full coverage, no surprises.
Vintage 4-inch side A little looser than Basic. Fuller coverage, same freedom.
Box Cut Low rise, square leg More coverage than a brief. Contoured front, unlined.
Flat Front 2-inch side The closest fitting cut we make. Smooth front, uninterrupted print.
