KATIN SHACKED TEE

California Surf Heritage, Worn Daily
Katin has been synonymous with surf culture since 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover shop called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. From those canvas roots, Katin grew into California's first brand to produce surf trunks, and the label has never stopped standing for high-quality, durable goods built for people who actually use them.
The Shacked Tee carries that lineage in a graphic short sleeve cut made for the beach, the lot, or wherever the day takes you after a session.
The Graphic
The back of the Shacked Tee features a hand-drawn beach scene: a classic surf shack, palm trees, a surfboard leaned against the door, a surfer heading toward a clean breaking wave, and a bold California sun overhead. "SEE YOU OUT THERE" arcs above the illustration. "KATIN - SINCE 1954" anchors it below. It is the kind of graphic that reads as a statement without trying too hard.
Built to Last
Katin's founding commitment was to durable goods, and that standard carries forward into every piece in the line. The Shacked Tee is a straightforward short sleeve crew neck designed to hold up wash after wash while the graphic stays sharp.
