16/- Slaps L/S Print T-shirt【NORTHERN CAL】BR-26125

"The Ultimate Weight for Daily Wear"

Crafted from our original jersey fabric using 16-count yarn, this body offers the perfect balance: it’s sleek enough to layer without bulk, yet substantial enough to stand alone as a primary piece.
It serves as a brilliant color accent when paired with open jackets or shirts, making it a versatile staple for any wardrobe. In true BARNS OUTFITTERS fashion, it is built tough to withstand frequent wear and washing without losing its shape. The "Slaps" uses modern slang to describe something truly exceptional—just like the T-shirt itself.
Inspired by the serene and rugged tradition of trout fishing in Northern California.

"NORTHERN CALIFORNIA"

The McCloud River in Northern California is globally renowned as the birthplace of the rainbow trout. As a sanctuary for trout fishing, Northern California draws passionate anglers from around the world to its legendary waters.
This design draws inspiration from that holy ground, capturing the unwavering resolve of an angler: the belief that landing a single rainbow trout—no matter how harsh the environment—is truly "worth it."
To reflect this rugged outdoor spirit, we utilized specific printing techniques: a wash-out print for the white body to achieve a faded, vintage look, and a crack print for the black and blue bodies to evoke the weathered texture of gear seasoned by the elements.

The neckline is finished with "Tako-binder" (shoulder-to-shoulder taping), a classic detail frequently seen on high-quality printed tees from the 1990s and 2000s.
This construction covers the raw seam edges, ensuring they don't rub against the skin for a stress-free, comfortable fit. Additionally, this reinforcement prevents the neck from stretching over time, maintaining a clean silhouette even after repeated wear.

Featuring a classic, true-to-size fit, this piece offers maximum versatility. It is perfectly proportioned to be worn on its own for a clean look or layered as a reliable inner piece without adding unnecessary bulk.

The cuffs are engineered with the perfect amount of tension, ensuring they stay securely in place even when pushed up, without feeling overly restrictive.

A playful fishbone graphic is featured on the left sleeve, adding a touch of wit and a unique visual accent to the overall design.

Crafted from 16-count yarn—generally considered a heavy-weight thread—this fabric offers a superb thickness that balances durability with comfort. It serves as a reliable inner layer during the colder months and transitions seamlessly into a standout standalone piece for spring, making it a versatile staple with a long wearable season.
