Note the crazy hair but thank goodness I had a gorgeous on.

A robe is the perfect companion to and from a swim or yoga class or an ocean surf. Comfy, quick-to-dry, roomy to change under, a deep pocket storage.

Done and dusted! 12km conquered! 🏊‍♂️🌊

A huge congratulations to Stephen, who successfully completed the 12km swim from Preekstoel in the West Coast National Park to the marina at Mykonos!

It was an early start for the swimmers, with six buses transporting the 6km and 12km participants to the starting point at Kraalbaai. A 6am start meant it was certainly an early morning, with the compulsory tow-float swim ensuring safety during this tide-assisted event.

And what was the garment of choice for many swimmers on the bus? Their Button Wear robes, of course!

Perfectly practical, these robes pack neatly into the small drawstring bag supplied, which were transported to the finish line. With generously sized, deep pockets for goggles, swimming caps and drinks, they are ideal for those early-morning starts.

And the best part? On reaching the finish line, your robe was waiting for you – ready to throw on and enjoy a comfortable walk back to your car or accommodation.

Made from practical, quick-drying microfibre towelling fabric, Button Wear robes are a must-have for every water sports enthusiast.

From the starting line to the finish line, we've got you covered!

Button Wear – practical comfort for every adventure. 💙

It's not just adults that are loving Button Wear!

Bella our little model in her pink seen here at her dad's event 13 September. She just fell in love with her little robe.

A large pocket for water bottle, a kiddie toys, slips slops, you name it.

Wear as a gown at night, to and from the pool or beach, super comfy, quick to dry fabric.

Sleevless or with sleeves, add a fun motif or embroidery, claim your robe!

The rivalry between Fish Hoek and Clifton Lifesaving Clubs is part of the rich tradition and character of Cape lifesaving.

That competitive spirit was on display when Jayden Allott took the honours in the Fish Hoek Mile.

A bit of history:
Brian Button, a name woven into the history of Clifton Lifesaving Club was instrumental in helping establish Clifton Lifesaving Club and played an important role in building the foundations of the club and its lifesaving tradition.

Today, that legacy has come full circle in a rather special way. Button Wear was created as an ode to The Late Brian Button, swim coach to many, and now Clifton Lifesaving has Button Wear robe in the house!

Lifesaving more than just a sport, an age old tradition past down through the generations.

Fish Hoek Mile 2026 Fundraiser

What a swim! Over 300 swimmers took on the Fish Hoek Mile in classic Cape conditions — bumpy, windy, and warm water making for a challenging but memorable day in the bay.

(False Bay has decidedly warm water after a South Easter wind, where Atlantic Seaboard has ice cold water)

The elite group turned up the heat, racing hard all the way to the finish in an exciting dash for the line! 🔥

A massive thank you to everyone who swam, supported, volunteered, and helped make the Fish Hoek Lifesaving Club fundraiser such a success. 💙

Introducing "The Mo"

I just love a long sleeve after getting out of chilly water early morning with no sun around. The sleeves are roomy enough slip one's arms inside to remove a wet costume.

Quick-dry properties allows you to wear you multi colour, or should I say techi-colour dream coat, oops i mean robe, to the coffee shop.

Bold colours to brighten the day, no more one colour robe.

What would your colour combination be? Design-a-robe plugin on the website allows to do just that. Design away.
