Born in the water.
SLTBURN started with a simple idea: premium swimwear made specifically for gay men — not as an afterthought, but as the whole point.
Two founders. One based in Chicago, one in São Paulo. A shared frustration with swimwear that was either too basic or trying too hard.
We built SLTBURN for the men who show up fully — at the pool, at the party, at Pride, on the beach in Rio. Elevated. Confident. Unapologetically queer.
What’s in a name?
SLTBURN. Say it out loud. It’s the sting of salt water on sunburned skin. It’s a summer that actually happened — the kind you carry home from a trip that changed something in you. We named the brand after a feeling. Because that’s what great swimwear should give you.
