Quiksilver The Original Boardshort SS Tee
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Quiksilver Heritage in Every Thread
The Original Boardshort SS Tee is a nod to Quiksilver's founding identity as the original boardshort company. The back graphic features the iconic Quiksilver wave-and-mountain logo alongside the script "The Original Boardshort Co" -- a direct callback to the brand's surf heritage. It is the kind of tee that earns its place in a regular rotation without trying too hard.
Organic Cotton Construction
Built from 100% organic cotton at 200 g/m2, this tee has genuine weight behind it. The midweight fabric holds its shape through repeated wash cycles while staying comfortable in warm weather. Piece dyeing gives the fabric a consistent, even tone throughout -- no patchiness, no fading hotspots. The regular fit sits relaxed across the chest and shoulders without going boxy, making it equally at home over boardshorts on the beach or under a jacket heading into the evening.
Details Worth Noting
The crew neck keeps the silhouette clean. The graphic is applied as a soft hand screen print, which means the ink flexes with the fabric instead of cracking after a few washes. Quiksilver's woven label is taken into the side seam rather than the back neck -- a small detail that matters if you wear your tees all day.
The Quiksilver Originals Ethos
Quiksilver built its name around performance surf apparel and the culture that surrounds it. The Originals line leans into that history without being a costume -- the graphics are vintage-inspired but the construction is current, using organic cotton that reflects where the brand is heading as much as where it came from. If you follow quiksilver originals or grew up with the brand's classic surf aesthetic, this tee sits squarely in that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Quiksilver Original Boardshort tee?
- It is a men's short sleeve crew-neck tee that pays tribute to Quiksilver's identity as the original boardshort company. The back carries the classic Quiksilver wave-and-mountain logo with "The Original Boardshort Co" script, screen printed in a soft hand technique onto 100% organic cotton fabric.
- What fabric is this tee made from?
- 100% organic cotton at 200 g/m2. It is piece dyed for an even tone and has enough weight to hold its structure wash after wash without being too heavy for warm weather wear.
- How does the fit run?
- Regular fit. It sits relaxed across the chest and shoulders without excess fabric. Check the variant picker for the sizes currently available.
- Will the screen print crack or peel over time?
- The graphic uses a soft hand screen print process, where the ink is formulated to flex with the fabric rather than sit rigidly on top of it. With standard washing this construction is significantly more durable than a standard plastisol print.
- How should I wash this tee?
- Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Washing inside out protects the screen print. Avoid high heat, which can break down organic cotton fibers over time.
- Is this part of the Quiksilver Originals line?
- Yes. The Quiksilver Originals line draws on the brand's surf heritage with vintage-inspired graphics and a relaxed aesthetic. This tee is a direct example of that approach, using the iconic mountain-and-wave logo and boardshort co. script that traces back to the brand's founding.
