Katin Pina Tee, a short sleeve tee with tropical matchbook art
The Katin Pina Tee takes its graphic from a tropical destination matchbook cover, the kind of retro souvenir art that has long inspired Katin's beach and surf culture line. It is built from ultra soft, 100% organic cotton that has been custom dyed, giving the tee a slightly faded, lived-in look right off the rack.
What it is made of
- 100% certified organic cotton
- Custom dyed and washed for a soft handfeel
- Finished with a Katin flag label
The organic cotton construction keeps the fabric breathable, while the custom dye process is what gives the shirt its relaxed, worn-in character from the first wear rather than after a dozen washes.
Who this tee is for
This is a straightforward short sleeve graphic tee for men who want a beach-ready layer that works from a morning surf check to running errands around town. In South Florida's heat and humidity, a lightweight organic cotton tee like this earns its keep as an everyday layer over boardshorts or with jeans for evenings out on the boat or at the shop.
Wearing and caring for it
- Machine wash cold to protect the custom dye and graphic
- Tumble dry low or line dry to keep the organic cotton fibers from breaking down
- Turn inside out before washing to protect the printed matchbook artwork
Because the cotton is organic and custom dyed rather than treated with synthetic finishes, gentle washing keeps the color and softness intact wear after wear.
The Katin story
Katin traces back to 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Raised along the California coast, the brand became a fixture of Southern California surf culture and holds the distinction of being one of California's first labels to make surf trunks, a heritage it carries into tees like the Pina.
