Why You’ll Love It
This is for the one who sat in the sand through the heat and watched the surf contests all the way to the end. The one who loves the wind, the salt, and the kind of talent out on the waves that makes you stop talking for a minute.
Atlantic Surf Classic feels like something pulled straight off the wall of an old beach shop and somehow still better than half the stuff being made now. The surfer silhouette, the breaking wave, and the understated “Florida 1976” give it that clean, memory-soaked feel that never has to try too hard. It’s simple, faded, and believable in all the right ways, like it came from a time when surf posters were the same. And the tee itself feels just as right, ultra-soft, lightweight, and comfortable enough to become an old favorite fast.
Slide this tee on and you’re right back there taking in the whole show.
Make It A Set
Built to go together. Easy to pair, easy to wear, better as a set.
Vintage Soul. Daily Comfort. Inspired Tees.
Lightweight by Design
We built Salt + Threads around a premium 4.2 oz Airlume cotton tee because heavier shirts just don’t make sense in Florida heat. Soft, breathable and lightweight without feeling flimsy — made to hold up and stay in your regular rotation.
Premium from the Start
We use the same premium tee for every design, with a cleaner fit, quality construction, and a feel that’s a step above the average graphic shirt.
Once you know your Salt + Threads size, you’re set. Every design starts with the same tee, so the fit stays familiar from one shirt to the next.
Designed Here. Vintage at Heart.
We design our tees ourselves, drawing from the coastal life around us — fishing, surfing, boating, space launches, local hangouts and the easygoing character of Cocoa Beach.
Every graphic starts with something we actually know, love or live. Vintage-inspired, coastal-minded, and made to feel like a tee worth wearing.

I’m between sizes. What should I do?
If you’re between sizes, we usually recommend going up one size. It gives you a little more ease through the chest and middle without overthinking it.
I carry more weight in my middle. Which way should I lean?
If you carry more weight through the middle, or your usual size sometimes feels snug in the belly or chest, we recommend going up one size.
What about broad shoulders?
If shirts often pull across your shoulders or chest, we recommend going up one size.
