Salt Rooted Hoodie | Garment-Dyed Coastal Heritage Pullover
Find Your Perfect Fit
Built for the coast. Made to move. Here's everything you need to find your ideal size — and understand what makes our apparel worth wearing.
What is Ring-Spun Cotton?
Not all cotton is created equal. Our tees are crafted from ring-spun cotton — a premium process that makes a real difference in how your shirt looks, feels, and lasts.
Ring-spun cotton is made by continuously twisting and thinning the cotton strands, aligning the fibers in the same direction. The result:
- Softer to the touch — noticeably smoother than standard cotton
- Stronger and more durable — less pilling, longer life
- Better for printing — smooth surface holds graphic detail and color vibrancy longer
- Lightweight and breathable — ideal for coastal climates and active wear
What is Garment Dyeing?
Garment dyeing gives our tees and hoodies that lived-in, vintage look straight out of the bag. The entire finished garment is dyed as one piece — so the dye absorbs unevenly, pooling at seams and fading at edges, creating a naturally worn, one-of-a-kind character.
- Rich color with natural variation — no two shirts look exactly alike
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk — what you order is what you get
- Vintage coastal aesthetic built in — looks like a favorite shirt you've had for years
- Gets better with age — color softens beautifully with each wash
⚠️ Care tip: Wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low. Slight color variation in the first wash is normal — it's part of the character.

Weathered by the Shore. Rooted in Salt.
Every lighthouse has a story — storms weathered, ships guided home, tides counted through long, quiet nights. The Salt Rooted Hoodie carries that same steady energy. A distressed lighthouse graphic and the words "Salt Rooted • Coastal Heritage • Est. 1993" sit on a washed-down pigment canvas that looks like it’s already lived a few good seasons by the water.
Roomy and relaxed, the heavy garment-dyed cotton feels warm and substantial against wind and spray — the layer you reach for on early morning pier walks, evening bonfires, and every quiet moment in between that belongs to the coast.
- 80% Cotton / 20% Polyester — soft, substantial, built to last
- Individually garment-dyed — natural color variation makes each one unique
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk, broken in from the first wear
- Lined hood with adjustable drawstring and front kangaroo pocket
- 1x1 ribbed cuffs and hem for a well-fitted feel wash after wash
- Unisex relaxed fit, true to size
- Made to order, just for you
