Who It's For
This tee is built for the everyday South Florida uniform, whether that means driving to the beach at sunrise, grabbing coffee after a paddle session, or layering under a hoodie once the sun goes down. The organic cotton fabrication breathes well in humidity and softens with every wash, making it a natural fit for anyone who lives in tees year round.
Wear, Care, and Break-In
Because the fabric is custom dyed and washed rather than treated with synthetic finishes, expect the tee to feel soft from the first wear and to keep softening over time. Organic cotton tees like this one are best cared for with a cold wash and a low or no heat dry to protect the dye and the fit. Turning the shirt inside out before washing helps preserve the graphic print.
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. Born and raised along the California coast, Katin grew into a Southern California surf culture staple and holds the distinction of being one of California's first brands to make surf trunks, a legacy it carries forward with a continued commitment to durable, high-quality goods.
