Quiksilver is an Australian casual clothing brand, focused primarily on surf and beachwear for young men. It is one of the largest surf-wear brands globally.
The brand was founded in 1969 in Torquay, Victoria, after founder Alan Green created the first modern light-weight Australian boardshorts. Quiksilver was extremely popular in Australia in the 1990s and 2000s, as the surf industry and culture grew significantly during these decades.
This type of jacket would have typically been worn in a casual setting, on-or-off the beach, most likely in autumn or winter due to its long sleeves and hood.
