On the water and at the rod building bench

150 g/m cotton for warm-season sessions

At 150 g/m, this 100% cotton T-shirt stays light and breathable through spring and summer sessions. Wear it on its own when the weather is warm, or as a base layer under a rain jacket or hoodie when the morning starts cool. The regular fit gives your shoulders room to keep casting all day, whether you fish spinning or casting gear. The crew neck and short sleeves keep a classic look that works on the dock as well as in town.

The Gary Loomis signature, a nod to rod builders

Gary Loomis founded North Fork Composites in Woodland, Washington, to produce carbon blanks for demanding rod builders. Wearing this shirt shows your attachment to a blank philosophy built around sensitivity and light weight. It also makes a fitting gift for an angler who builds their own rods on NFC blanks. For care, washing at 30 C, preferably inside out, helps keep the black and the logo looking sharp season after season.
