Stubbies is an Australian clothing brand introduced in 1972 by Queensland manufacturer J.T. Dickson Pty Ltd. Best known for its short, lightweight shorts, the brand became a cultural icon across Australia and New Zealand throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. Beyond casual fashion, Stubbies gained recognition in skateboarding by sponsoring competitions and supporting Australian skateboarders during the sport's early boom, helping expose skateboarding to a wider audience. As trends shifted in the late 1980s, the brand's popularity declined, but its influence remained. Today, Stubbies is remembered as both a classic Australian apparel brand and an important supporter of early skateboarding culture.
