Katin Memories Tee: Surf Shop Art on Soft Organic Cotton
The Katin Memories Tee takes its graphic straight from the world of local surfboard shaping shops, the kind of hand painted signage you see on the wall of a shaper's bay rather than a mass produced logo. It is built on 100% organic cotton, so the design lands on a soft, breathable base rather than a stiff printed shirt.
What Goes Into the Memories Tee
- 100% organic cotton construction
- Custom dyed for a worn in, effortless finish
- Katin flag label
The custom dye process is what gives each shirt its faded, lived in tone right out of the bag, and the organic cotton keeps the hand soft rather than crisp.
Who This Tee Fits Into a South Florida Routine
This is a shirt for anyone who wants their surf gear to read like heritage rather than hype, whether that is a post session coffee run, a shift at the shop, or just everyday wear around the water. The organic cotton breathes well in Florida heat, and the surf shaping shop art keeps the shirt grounded in the culture rather than a passing trend.
Caring for the Fabric and the Print
Because the shirt is custom dyed organic cotton, wash it inside out in cold water and let it air dry when possible to protect both the dye and the graphic. Avoid high heat drying, which can fade the custom dye faster than the fabric itself would otherwise wear.
The Katin Story Behind the Tee
Katin began in 1954 when Nancy and Walter Katin opened Kanvas by Katin, a small boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand became one of California's first to make surf trunks and has carried that same durable, high quality standard into apparel like the Memories Tee.
