A Hoodie Inspired by Surfboard Sock Covers
The Katin Sock Hood Sweater is made from a 2-tone heathered yarn, inspired by the classic surfboard sock covers surfers use to protect their boards, the kind of katin sock hoodie or katin sock hood people search for by name. It is built as a hooded sweater for cooler days around the water.
What It Is Made Of and How It Is Built
- 2-tone heathered yarn
- Drawcord and cover stitch detail
- Woven Katin patch label
The 2-tone heathered yarn gives the sweater a textured, two-color look, finished with cover stitch detailing and a drawcord at the hood for adjustability.
Who Wears It and Where
This hoodie is built for South Florida mornings and evenings when the temperature drops enough for a layer, whether that is before a dawn surf check, on the boat, or around town after a day at the beach. Its surfboard sock cover inspiration ties it directly to surf culture rather than a generic hoodie look.
How to Wear and Care for It
Use the drawcord at the hood to adjust the fit for wind or cooler air, and treat the heathered yarn like any knit sweater, machine wash cold and lay flat or tumble low to protect the cover stitch detail and the woven Katin patch label over time.
The Katin Story
Katin was founded in 1954 when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business, Kanvas by Katin, in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Katin is recognized as one of California's first brands to make surf trunks, and the woven Katin patch label on this sweater carries that surf heritage forward.
