Coastal Bearings - Vintage Tee

The Coastal Bearings tee was designed for the people who see the Gulf differently — not just as water, but as a map of memories, tides, routes, and stories passed down through generations. Inspired by vintage nautical charts and old coastal navigation graphics, this design blends life above and below the waterline into one detailed illustration rooted in Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Framed inside a weathered compass motif, the artwork captures a skiff cutting across calm bay water while a redfish moves quietly beneath the surface below. Combined with subtle coastline textures, navigation elements, and distressed maritime detailing, the design feels less like modern apparel and more like something pulled from an old marina office or a captain’s field journal. This piece represents the deeper side of coastal life — understanding the tides, knowing the channels by memory, reading the wind before sunrise, and staying connected to the water long after the boat’s back on the trailer. Built in Salt Wind’s signature navy-and-sand heritage palette, the Coastal Bearings tee balances rugged Gulf Coast character with a timeless outfitter aesthetic designed to feel lived-in from day one. Rooted In The Coast. Driven By The Tide.
