The One That Got Away
Every angler has a story about the one that slipped the hook, and every surfer knows the moment a big dark shape glides past the lineup and everyone goes quiet. That mix of wonder and respect for the open ocean is what this shirt is all about. On a trade wind morning in Poʻipū, with salt on your skin and the sun climbing over the cliffs, it feels right to wear a tee that carries a little of that story.
The Blue Marlin logo runs across the front and the back, so the graphic looks good whether you are walking toward the water or heading back up the sand after a long session. Pair it with board shorts and a pair of sandals for the kind of easy day that stretches from first light to a sun-faded late afternoon, or take it into Hanalei town for a casual lunch and a slow stroll.
What Goes Into It
- 6.1-ounce, 100% soft spun cotton fabric
- Koloa Surf Blue Marlin logo printed on the front and back
- Heavyweight construction
- Classic men's tee cut
- Regular and big and tall sizes
The heavyweight cotton gives the shirt a substantial feel that holds its shape through a full day of wear, while the soft spun cotton keeps it comfortable against the skin.
Fit and Sizing
This is a classic men's tee cut for easy wear. Choose your usual size for a comfortable fit, or size up if you prefer more room through the body. Sizes run Small through 6X-Large, with tall options in Large Tall, X-Large Tall, 2X-Large Tall, 3X-Large Tall, and 4X-Large Tall. The tall sizes add length without changing the overall shape, which helps if regular tees tend to ride up on you. Because the logo is printed on both sides, a little extra room lets the graphic hang cleanly.
How to Wear It
Keep it simple. Throw it on with board shorts or faded denim, add a pair of slip-on sandals, and you are ready for a morning at Hanalei Bay or an afternoon in the shade of a palm. It layers easily under an open button-up on cooler evenings, and it works just as well on its own when the trade winds are blowing and the sun is warm on your shoulders.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt for washing and drying instructions. Turning the tee inside out before washing can help protect the printed graphics over time, and hanging or laying it flat to dry will keep the cotton in good shape.
