There's a running joke on every dock, big ocean or Great Lakes: everybody's tied off, and nobody's tied off the same way twice. We're partial to the real cleat hitch — dead turn, figure eight, locked off with a proper half hitch — so we put it front and center on a badge worth showing off, ringed by "Big Ocean · Great Lakes" and "In Pursuit of Nautical Excellence," stamped with the Salty Shirts mark.

It's printed on a Comfort Colors 1717, the garment-dyed cotton that gets softer and better looking every time it sees salt air. Sized S–4XL, in multiple colors, for anyone who loves the water enough to care how the boat's tied up.
