The 1974 — Heritage Fishing Tee

Heavyweight pocket fishing tee with the original 1974 Angler wordmark, screen-printed. 100% ringspun cotton, garment-washed so it doesn’t shrink the second time you wear it. The kind of fishing shirt that gets better looking after the third trip out.

What You’re Buying

Built like the boats.

Sun protection that works

UPF 50+ on the long-sleeve fishing shirts. Tested, not estimated. Same fabric spec the offshore charter captains we know already wear.

Cut for fishing

Roomy through the chest and shoulders, tapered through the waist. So you can cast, reel, gaff, and lean over the gunwale without your shirt riding up.

Real fabric weight

Heritage fishing tees at 6.5 oz, not the 4 oz fast-fashion garbage. They’ll outlive the next two boats you own.

Small batches

We print to demand, not to a warehouse. When a colorway sells out, it’s out. No discount blast emails three weeks later.

Buyer’s Notes

What a real fishing shirt needs.

Most “fishing shirts” on the market are tournament logo merch with a UPF claim slapped on the label. The four things that actually matter on a saltwater fishing shirt — in our opinion after fifty years of watching what holds up on the back of a center console — are these:

UPF rating, certified. A real fishing shirt should be UPF 50+ tested to the ASTM standard, not just “sun-protective.” The Hauler hits UPF 50+ certified across all three colorways.

Fabric weight. Too light and the shirt collapses against your skin when you sweat. Too heavy and it traps heat. The performance long-sleeve sits at 4.2 oz; the cotton heritage fishing tees at 6.5 oz. Those numbers are the result of testing, not what the mill quoted us.

Cut for the motion. A fishing shirt has to let you cast overhand, double-haul, set the hook, lean over the rail, and pick up a 40-lb cobia without binding at the armpit or riding up at the back. Ours are cut wider through the shoulder and chest, with a longer back hem so it stays tucked.

Honest dry time. If a shirt says “moisture-wicking” but smells like a gym bag after one trip, the wicking is marketing and the antimicrobial finish is gone. The Hauler uses a polygiene-treated polyester blend — bag it wet, smell it dry, see for yourself.

None of this is rocket science. It’s just what fifty years of building fishing boats taught us about what fishermen actually use a fishing shirt for.

Common Questions

Fishing Shirts — FAQ

When do the fishing shirts drop?

The first three fishing shirts launch in summer 2026. The 25 CC profile tee releases the same day the first 25 CC hull rolls out, so that one is tied to the boat’s schedule.

What UPF rating are your fishing shirts?

The Hauler long-sleeve fishing shirt is UPF 50+ certified — the highest sun protection rating awarded by the ASTM standard. Same fabric spec the offshore charter captains we know already wear.

Are your fishing shirts cut for layering?

The performance long-sleeve is cut roomy through the chest and shoulders so you can wear a t-shirt under it without binding. The heritage tees fit standard cotton-tee true to size.

Where are your fishing shirts made?

Sewn in the U.S. Printed in Miami. We’ll publish the exact factory once we lock in the contract — we’re not pretending the shirts come out of the boat shop.

Do you ship fishing shirts internationally?

U.S. only at launch. International once volume justifies the freight setup. Email anglerboatscorp@gmail.com and we’ll let you know when your country opens.

What about fishing hats, hoodies, and outerwear?

Coming, but later. We’d rather get three fishing shirts right than fifteen products half right.

Is there a waitlist for the first fishing shirt drop?

Yes. Waitlist members get a 24-hour head start before the public drop link goes live, and can reserve a 25 CC profile fishing tee before it’s tied to build slots. Sign up via the form on this page.

Can I buy a fishing shirt and a boat at the same time?

You’ll have to do that as two separate transactions. But yes.
