A Billabong Short Sleeve Tee Built for Everyday Wear
If you have been searching for a billabong short sleeve tee that pairs as easily with boardshorts at the beach as it does with jeans on a Friday night, this is it. The Better Premium WW SS is cut in Billabong's timeless core fit, a relaxed silhouette that is easy to wear all day without feeling boxy or tight.
Fabric and Construction
The tee is made from 100% ring spun cotton in a light weight 160G 26/1 jersey knit, a finer, softer spin than standard cotton tees. Billabong finishes it with a PFD overdye and a heavy enzyme wash, which is what gives the fabric its lived-in, slightly faded look right out of the bag. Front and back graphics are soft hand screen printed rather than heat pressed, so the print flexes with the fabric instead of cracking over time. A side seam flag label and an interior heat transfer neck label keep the collar free of a scratchy woven tag.
- 100% ring spun cotton, light weight 160G 26/1 jersey
- Timeless core fit
- Front and back soft hand screen print
- PFD overdye with heavy enzyme wash
- Interior heat transfer neck label, no scratchy tag
Who This Tee Is For
This is a men's short sleeve tee built for anyone living the South Florida beach and boat routine, a shirt you throw on after a surf session, wear to the store, or layer under a hoodie once the sun goes down. The soft jersey knit breathes well in humid weather without feeling heavy, and the core fit is loose enough to move in without looking sloppy.
Wear and Care
Because the enzyme wash and overdye are already applied at the factory, this tee arrives with its faded look intact rather than needing to be broken in. Wash it inside out in cold water to protect the screen print graphics and the overdyed finish, and avoid high heat drying, which can accelerate fading past the intended wash effect. Ring spun cotton softens further with each wash, so expect the hand feel to keep improving over time.
About Billabong

Decades later, with a fresh perspective on beach culture, Billabong continues to reinterpret what it means to be a surf brand, and this tee carries that same core, no-frills approach to everyday clothing.
