Katin Parks Fleece
The Katin Parks Fleece is built around a detail most hoodies keep hidden: the soft, brushed inside face of the fabric. Instead of saving that texture for the lining, the Parks Fleece flips it outward.
Fabric and Details
It is made from a custom yarn-dyed and brushed reverse fleece with a striped pattern running through it, along with Katin embroidery placed on the left chest. That reverse-fleece construction is what gives the fabric its soft, textured face.

Who It Is For
This hoodie fits anyone who wants a layer for cooler mornings on the water, an evening on the boat, or just everyday wear once the sun goes down in South Florida. Its reverse-fleece build gives it a more textured, casual look than a standard hoodie, so it works as easily over a swimsuit at dusk as it does with regular clothes.
Care
A brushed reverse fleece like this holds its texture best when washed inside out in cold water and dried on low heat, which protects both the brushed face and the embroidery. Since it is meant for regular wear around sand and salt air, rinse or wash it after beach days to keep the fleece from picking up salt residue.
About Katin
Katin was founded in 1954 when Nancy and Walter Katin opened Kanvas by Katin, a boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Raised along the California coast, Katin became one of the state's first brands to make surf trunks and still builds its reputation on durable, high-quality goods.
