KATIN DELIVERY BOX FIT TEE
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Delivering Paradise Since 1954
Katin has been part of California surf culture since Nancy and Walter Katin opened Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California in 1954. The brand holds the distinction of being among California's first to produce surf trunks, and that same commitment to quality and coastal authenticity carries into every piece they make today. The Delivery Box Fit Tee is a direct expression of that legacy, built on a relaxed, roomy silhouette and decorated with Katin's signature retro artwork.
The Graphic
The back of the tee features the Kanvas by Katin "Delivering Paradise" artwork: a cartoon delivery figure hauling a surfboard beneath swaying palm trees and a bold sunset, stamped with "Since 1954." It is a nod to Katin's origin story told in classic screen-print style. The chest carries the Kanvas by Katin wordmark to keep the front clean.
Box Fit Construction
The box fit cut sits wider through the body with dropped shoulders and a straight hem, giving a relaxed, lived-in drape without going oversized. This is the silhouette that works equally well over boardshorts at the beach or with denim off the water. Cotton construction keeps the fabric breathable and comfortable through warm weather, softening further with each wash.
Katin Brand Heritage
Founded in 1954 in Surfside, California just north of Huntington Beach, Kanvas by Katin grew from a boat cover business into one of California's founding surf brands. Rooted in the coastal communities where surf culture took shape, Katin has maintained its commitment to durable, high-quality goods across more than seven decades. This tee is part of that unbroken line.
