Wilmington, North Carolina — Saltwater Raised™ Coastal Tee

Harbor breeze in the air, docks buzzing at sunrise, and weekends spent chasing swells from Wrightsville Beach to Carolina Beach — Wilmington, North Carolina raises its people in saltwater and history. If you know the hum of the Riverwalk, the smell of pluff mud at low tide, or the rhythm of boats slipping through the Cape Fear, this Saltwater Raised™ tee was made for you.

Cut and sewn in North America from ultra-soft Airlume cotton, the aqua blue tone nods to Wilmington’s signature coastal palette — blue-green Atlantic water meeting warm Carolina skies. The Saltwater Raised™ street-coastal graphic honors surf towns, dock days, marshland sunsets, and that unmistakable Wilmington calm.

For long-time locals, UNCW weekend wanderers, surf-shop loyalists, riverfront walkers, and anyone who carries Wilmington salt in their blood — this tee is your story stitched in cotton.
