Katin Cast Off SS Tee
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Vintage Soul, Organic Cotton Comfort
The Cast Off SS Tee channels the spirit of old-school bait and tackle shop signage with artwork that belongs on the wall of your favorite waterfront hangout. A skeleton fisherman casts a line from a wooden rowboat under a blazing sun, with the words "See You Out There" arched above, the kind of graphic that tells a story without saying too much. Below the illustration, "Kanvas by Katin - Since 1954" grounds the shirt in the brand's seven decades of California coastal heritage.
100% Certified Organic Cotton Construction
The fabric is the foundation. Katin built the Cast Off on 100% Certified Organic Cotton that has been custom dyed and washed, producing a pigment finish that is naturally soft from the first wear and only improves with use. The dye process gives the fabric a subtly uneven, sun-faded character that looks broken-in from day one. There is no stiffness, no plasticky hand feel -- just a relaxed, breathable tee that moves with you whether you are headed to the beach, the dock, or wherever the day takes you.
Katin Brand Heritage
In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business on the California coast called Kanvas by Katin. The proximity to the water and the culture surrounding it quickly drew them into surfwear, and Katin became California's first brand to produce surf trunks. More than 70 years later, the brand still holds its Southern California roots at the center of everything it makes. The Cast Off Tee is a direct expression of that lineage -- coastal craft, understated graphics, and materials worth wearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Katin Cast Off SS Tee made of?
- The Cast Off SS Tee is made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton. The fabric has been custom dyed and washed to produce a soft, pigment-dyed finish that feels broken-in from the first wear.
- What does pigment dye mean for a t-shirt?
- Pigment dyeing applies color to the surface of the fabric rather than saturating the fibers throughout. The result is a naturally faded, vintage look with slight color variation across the garment. The fabric tends to be softer than conventionally dyed cotton and the finish deepens with washing over time.
- What is the graphic on the Cast Off Tee?
- The back features vintage bait and tackle shop-inspired artwork: a skeleton fisherman sitting in a wooden rowboat, casting a line with the sun overhead and a fish jumping nearby. The text reads "See You Out There" arching above the illustration, with "Kanvas by Katin - Since 1954" below.
- Who is Katin and why does it matter?
- Katin was founded in 1954 by Nancy and Walter Katin on the California coast as Kanvas by Katin, a boat cover business. The brand became California's first to produce surf trunks and has remained a cornerstone of Southern California surf culture ever since. The Cast Off Tee carries the brand's original "Kanvas by Katin" name as part of its graphic.
- How should I care for the Katin Cast Off SS Tee?
- For best results with pigment-dyed organic cotton, machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry. Washing inside out helps preserve the graphic and the character of the pigment finish. Avoid high heat, which can accelerate fading beyond the intended effect.
- Is the Katin Cast Off Tee a good fit for everyday wear?
- Yes. The relaxed construction and ultra-soft organic cotton make it well suited to all-day wear. The graphic has enough personality to stand on its own while still being casual enough for the beach, a boat, or a weekend errand.
- Can I find the Katin Cast Off SS Tee at Island Water Sports?
- Yes. The Katin Cast Off SS Tee is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com.
