BILLABONG THIS IS TROPICAL SS TEE
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Laid-Back Surf Style, Printed and Ready
The Billabong This Is Tropical SS Tee is built for the days when comfort and character matter equally. Billabong constructs the shell from a 100% cotton loose knit jersey that breathes freely and sits easy against skin all day long. Piece-dyed and then garment-washed, each tee comes out with a broken-in softness and subtle tonal depth that looks like it has already logged a summer's worth of beach days.
Construction and Fit
The silhouette follows a true boy-tee pattern: oversized through the body with dropped shoulders and a relaxed sleeve that falls at the elbow. The classic crew neck keeps the neckline clean without restricting movement. That combination of a generous cut and a soft, washed hand makes the tee easy to throw on over a swimsuit or layer under an open shirt at dusk.
Tropical Screen Print
The front carries a vintage-inspired Billabong Surf Co. graphic featuring palm trees, a hula dancer, and script lettering in a worn-down ink treatment. The distressed print finish matches the garment-wash texture of the fabric, so the graphic feels part of the shirt rather than applied to it. This is the kind of artwork that improves with washing rather than fading into nothing.
