A Rooster Strutting Across Kauai, Printed on a Tee Built to Last
Anyone who has spent time on Kauai knows the island belongs to the roosters. They crow before sunrise outside the surf shop, strut across parking lots in Koloa and Kapaa, and look completely unbothered by the tourists snapping their picture. The Koloa Rooster Island Heavyweight T-Shirt turns that island character into a graphic you can wear.
Koloa Surf Co is a Kauai brand, and the rooster is as much a part of the island story as the surf. Whether you are a local who has long since stopped noticing the wake-up call or a visitor who is still laughing about it, this design is a nod to the funny, free-roaming side of life on the Garden Isle. Each shirt is printed by Joe's own crew.
The look is easygoing and a little cheeky, which suits the way people really dress on the islands: a good tee, board shorts, and no fuss. It works at a luau, a beach cookout, a hike, or a long drive around the island.

Fit and Sizing
This tee has a relaxed fit, so it drapes comfortably without clinging. If you like a roomier shirt, choose one size up. The Koloa size chart lists measurements so you can compare against a tee you already own. Taller and larger customers can visit our big and tall surf apparel page to see how to find a good fit in extended sizes. Tall sizes are listed for customers who want extra length in the body.
How to Wear It
Pair it with board shorts and sandals for the beach, or with jeans for a casual night out. The heavier cotton holds its shape as a standalone shirt and also layers well under a flannel or a zip hoodie when the evening cools off. It makes an easy gift for anyone who loves Kauai, roosters included.
Care
Check the care label for the washing directions that apply to your color. Turning a printed tee inside out before washing helps the graphic look good for longer.
