Island Water Sports Script L/S Tee
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Beach, Made to Last
The Island Water Sports Script Long Sleeve Tee is the everyday staple from South Florida's local surf shop since 1978. Cut from 4.5 oz. pre-shrunk 100% ring spun cotton, it breaks in soft on the first wash and stays that way. The tubular construction means no side seams to rub or twist, so whether you are paddling out before work or staying after sundown, this shirt moves with you instead of against you.
The back features the classic IWS script logo and wave-and-palm graphic, the same mark that has represented the shop on the water and in the lineup for decades. A small logo hit on the sleeve keeps the front clean.
Construction Details
Every detail in this shirt is chosen for durability and comfort. The shoulder-to-shoulder tape keeps the back yoke from stretching out of shape after repeat washes. The seamed collar holds its structure without digging in. Double-needle stitching on the bottom hem resists the fraying that plagues thinner tees, and rib sleeve cuffs give just enough stretch to push up easily when conditions call for it.
Why Ring Spun Cotton
Ring spun cotton starts with fibers that are twisted and thinned during spinning, which removes short, rough fibers and aligns the longer ones. The result is a yarn that is noticeably smoother and stronger than standard open-end spun cotton. At 4.5 oz., this tee is light enough for warm days without feeling flimsy, and the pre-shrink treatment means the fit you try on in store is the fit you keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this shirt shrink after washing?
- The fabric is pre-shrunk before cutting and sewing, so the fit is stable from the first wash. Follow the care label instructions for best results.
- What is tubular construction and why does it matter?
- Tubular construction means the fabric is knit as a continuous tube with no side seams. This eliminates the seam that can rub or twist on a traditional cut-and-sew tee, which improves comfort and helps the shirt hang evenly over time.
- Is this a good shirt for wearing at the beach or in the water?
- It is designed for beach and surf lifestyle use. The 100% ring spun cotton is comfortable for everyday beach days and sun protection on cooler mornings. It is not a rash guard and is not intended for extended water submersion, but it is well suited to the before-and-after beach routine.
- What does ring spun cotton feel like compared to regular cotton?
- Ring spun cotton is smoother and softer than standard open-end spun cotton because the spinning process removes short, rough fibers and aligns the longer ones into a tighter, more refined yarn. Most people notice the difference immediately when they put it on.
- How long has Island Water Sports been making branded apparel?
- Island Water Sports has been South Florida's local surf shop since 1978. The Script logo on this tee is the same mark that has represented the shop on the water for decades.
- Can I buy this tee in store?
- Yes. The IWS Script L/S Tee is available both in store at Island Water Sports in South Florida and through the online store at the same price.
