New for 2012!  We've added 100% cotton pre-shrunk garment-dyed T-shirts in two new colors. Choose between sun-bleached red and Olde Towne blue with the Skipjack Nautical Wares logo in white on the front. These great T's will soon become a favorite that you'll enjoy wearing over and over again!

The Skipjack "Underway" nautical short sleeve garment-dyed T's in sun-bleached red and Olde Towne blue.
Garment dyed shirts are cut and sewn first from an optic white fabric and made into a larger spec. The shrinkage occurs during the dye process because of the extreme heat and the shirts shrink to the proper size (hence the term "pre-shrunk"). As a result of garment dyeing the shirts will come out softer and feel more vintage.
