Katin Royal SS Tee: A 1970s Surf Photo on Organic Cotton
The Katin Royal SS Tee carries a photo print reminiscent of surf magazines from the 1970s, so it reads more like a piece of surf history than a current season graphic. That print sits on 100% organic cotton, giving the shirt a soft base rather than a stiff printed feel.
What Goes Into the Royal Tee
- 100% certified organic cotton
- Custom dyed and washed
- Katin flag label
The custom dye and wash process is what gives the shirt its already broken in look and feel straight out of the bag, while the organic cotton keeps it breathable.
Who This Tee Is For
This tee suits anyone who wants their everyday wear to nod to surf culture history rather than a current trend, whether that is a day at the shop, a session at the beach, or just running around South Florida. The organic cotton breathes well in the heat, and the vintage inspired photo print gives it a look that holds up as classic rather than dated.
Caring for the Custom Dye and Print
Because the shirt is custom dyed organic cotton, wash it inside out in cold water and air dry when you can to protect both the dye and the photo print. Skip high heat drying, which fades custom dyed cotton faster than normal wear would on its own.
The Katin Story
Katin was founded 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 kept that same commitment to durable, high quality goods in pieces like the Royal Tee.
