I think the Vilebrequin fit is actually slightly better, and the fabric is just as good, maybe even better. One major detail is the way you tighten your shorts. Orlebar Brown uses side adjusters. These are really useful and comfy, but they create a slightly less clean silhouette. The difference comes down to fit which is similar , colors and patterns, and details waistband style, etc.
You may be willing to pay more for higher quality. If that resonates with you, I think Vilebrequin is a great choice — possibly even your best option right now. Vilebrequin products are made in Tunisia, Morocco and Europe from mostly European fabrics. The Flat Belt shorts I reviewed were made in Bulgaria. Compared to mass market American brands like Nautica, Vilebrequin runs small.
Compared to other designer brands like Orlebar Brown, Vilebrequin is true to size. A fresh water rinse after use in the pool or ocean is often enough to keep your trunks clean. When you do put them in the laundry, wash them in cold water delicate cycle and let them air dry. Depends where you live. If you place an order from the United States, your order will be shipped from the U.

But Roland Herlory, CEO of the year-old French swimwear and clothing brand Vilebrequin, is quick to defend the cost of the embroidered swimming trunks he's offering this season—and even quicker to dismiss the notion that their price is a little too high.
To achieve that longevity, artisans in Italy, Spain, and France have to flex their expertise to get the trunks just right. Here's how they come together. The Material: All of Vilebrequin's trunks are made from a special high-density polyamide, which is more tear-resistant than polyester but dries just as fast. The company buys yarn from an Italian mill and sends it to Spain to be woven.
Once that process is finished, the weaver treats the fabric to break down its fibers just enough so that it feels very, very soft against your skin. Did they actually look like a cheap pair before you thought about what they were made of? I don't care if a lining in a suit is bemberg or not, as some of the viscose I think are still good, so I ask with that as a mindset.
Makes sense, I get it. Not surprised by the customer service - 'luxury' brands don't usually do this. Google e-comm brands like Warby Parker would be all over this though. They get it and have teams for it. It's a lot of coin for a swimsuit - I've never paid that much for one. If I did, I too would be super pissed if it wasn't any better and I felt like I didn't get my money's worth.
Orelbar Brown I'm still going to give a try, sometime. Vilebrequin is off the list. I get the feeling they don't have a proper CS team or process.
If they want to sell online, they better get used to it. I don't think it's luxury brand anymore. Maybe I should not have listened to my friend who pushed me to get them.
Lived, learned. Glad I heard it from you though. Just saved myself euros! Vilebrequin is not a luxury brand in my eyes, just a mass production rip-off. Do yourself a favour and buy something else, offline if possible but what do you think of their CS attitude? Yeah i almost never buy "luxury". I mostly buy suits but stay away from off the rack brands. I like custom where I can talk to people and know I'm not getting overcharged. I think their CS stinks, but I'm not surprised.
To say it in a somewhat pretentious way, I think it is "not uncommon" for these type of brands. Pretty sure if I sent an email to Ballys complaining about their product they weren't give a hoot.
