KATIN BOYS SUNNY TEE
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Surf Heritage Meets Ultra-Soft Organic Cotton
The Sunny Tee carries art drawn straight from the world of vintage comic books and hand-painted surf shop signs. The back graphic features Katin's iconic sun face rising over a surfboard with the words "See You Out There" arched above it and the Kanvas by Katin Since 1954 badge beneath. It is the kind of graphic that tells a story on its own.
Underneath the artwork is 100% Certified Organic Cotton that has been custom dye-washed for a broken-in, lived-in feel right out of the bag. The wash gives the fabric a subtle texture and depth that only gets better with wear.
Katin Boys Clothes Built on 70 Years of California Surf Culture
In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California. Surfers quickly noticed how well the canvas held up in and around the water, and Katin became California's first brand to produce surf trunks. Seven decades later the brand remains a staple of Southern California surf culture, and every piece still reflects that original commitment to quality and durability.
The Katin flag label stitched inside the Sunny Tee is a small detail that connects every garment back to that history.
