Katin Boys Ortega SS Tee

Katin Boys Ortega Short Sleeve Tee

The Katin Boys Ortega SS Tee is built around a multicolor cut paper graphic, printed on ultra-soft, 100% organic cotton that has been custom dyed for a lived-in look and extended comfort. It is a straightforward, well-made short sleeve tee for boys, cut from the same brand that has been making beach-ready basics since 1954.

Materials and Construction

• 100% certified organic cotton
• Custom dyed and washed for a soft hand feel and faded finish
• Multicolor cut paper design graphic
• Katin flag label

The custom dye and wash process is what gives this tee its worn-in softness right out of the bag, rather than a stiff, straight-off-the-shelf feel.

Who It Is For

This tee is built for the boys 8 to 16 range and works equally well layered under a hoodie on a cool Florida morning at the beach or worn on its own for a day around the shop, the boat, or the skatepark. Organic cotton breathes well in South Florida heat, and the relaxed graphic tee styling pairs easily with boardshorts or shorts for everyday wear.

Care and Wear

Because the fabric is 100% organic cotton that has already been custom dyed, wash it in cold water and hang or lay flat to dry to protect the color and the softness of the cut paper print. Avoid high heat drying, which can fade custom dyed cotton faster and shorten the life of the graphic. Treat it as an everyday tee rather than technical surf apparel, since no water repellent or quick dry treatment is listed for this piece.

About Katin

In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Katin remains a staple of Southern California beach culture and holds the title of California's first brand to make surf trunks, carrying that same commitment to durable, high-quality goods into pieces like the Ortega Tee.
