Where craftsmanship meets surf heritage.
The Brotherhood Utility Trunks are the result of a collaboration between Devium and Russell Surfboards, a legendary Newport Beach surf shop hand-shaping boards since 1967. What began as a casual idea in the shaping bay became one of Devium’s most meticulous design projects—a bridge between classic 1950s Americana swim trunks and modern-day boardshorts.

Made 100% in the USA, these trunks feature a rash-free, no-seam thigh design that eliminates friction and enhances comfort whether you’re catching waves or catching lunch. Dual hidden side-zip pockets maintain a clean, vintage surf silhouette while giving you practical storage.

Cut just above the knee with a slight scallop, the fit nods to the past while staying versatile for daily wear—from the water to the boardwalk.

The real breakthrough is the Berry Amendment–compliant 7.2oz stretch woven fabric, made to military specifications for durability, flexibility, and quick drying. Comfortable enough for long surf sessions, rugged enough for everyday wear—these are boardies built to outlast trends.
