Captain's Uniform Shirt Cotton / Linen in Yellow

Captain’s Uniform Shirt - Cotton / Linen in Yellow

A Captain’s role on a fishing boat includes many random chores that go beyond his ultimate responsibility as the “Master” on the vessel, which under maritime law, include all aspects of operation such as the safe navigation of the ship, its cleanliness and seaworthiness, safe handling of all cargo, management of all personnel, inventory of ship's cash and stores, maintaining the ship's certificates and documentation…and less we forget, the right to use deadly force to suppress piracy and mutiny. So, everyone, please behave!

No matter what the sea has put forth, when back at the dock with lines secured, engines silenced and the relentless sway of the sea calmed, it’s time for some well-earned personal tidying for both captain and crew.

And there’s no better combination to rejuvenate the senses and put those around at ease, than a freshwater shower followed by the donning of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt – light, airy and spry…pulled fresh from its assigned peg in the forward stateroom locker.

At first glance, I doubt you’ll appreciate the fit-and-finish that’s gone into the build of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt…the collar stand is a few mm’s taller than usual, and the shape is contoured and balanced to ride perfectly no matter how you choose to wear it. Its integrated point stays give the collar just the right amount of attitude while still commanding respect. A slightly narrowed and deepened front chest pocket won’t be obvious to all…nor will the slightly off-center buttons on the cuffs that make for a more relaxed fit when buttoned.

You will, however, immediately recognize the premium quality of its fabric as the sleeves glide up along your forearms and it begins to take shape as you draw it across your shoulders. Once saddled and buttons start meeting buttonholes, you’ll realize you are now wearing your new most favorite shirt. And what an ahoy moment this will be!

Bimini Short Sleeve Cotton Shirt- in Tarpon Green

Bimini Short Sleeve Cotton Shirt - in Tarpon Green

Head SE from Florida’s Hillsborough Inlet, 53 nautical miles, and you’ll come upon North Bimini, a boomerang shaped island perched on the edge of the Gulf Stream. The eastern arm of the island, barely 700ft at its widest point, stretches to the northeast for about 7 miles before making an abrupt swing to the south, where it widens across the shallows of the Great Bahama Bank into a swarm of mangrove forests that still today, are considered one of the world’s most ecologically important nurseries for all matter of fish and shellfish. This international treasure of wilderness is overshadowed by the sportfishing adventures of men like Michael Lerner, Zane Grey and Ansil Saunders that brought fame and notoriety to this humble spit of sand. Their stories, recounted and magnified tenfold in the cavernously crusty old bar of the Complete Angler Hotel, were amplified by newspaper and sporting journals…and by one particularly noteworthy bit of writing:  Islands In The Stream, published in 1970, written by one of Bimini’s best known protagonists, Ernest Hemingway.

Look at the old photographs…they all wore shirts like this. Shirts with intention and attitude.

Our Bimini Short Sleeve Shirt is built to be the best for the purpose for which it was intended: fishing the Gulf Stream, in comfort. And you can’t have comfort without the proper fabric. We use a 140x1 compact yarn to build our Bimini Short Sleeve shirt. Why? This combination of yarn size and compact construction yields a finer, smoother fabric that is extremely light weight, just 3.4 oz / sq.mtr. And attitude plays a big part in how this shirt is patterned out and constructed. Uncomplicated. A simple camp collar design that lays the entire collar down… around your neck, not up on your neck, and in front, down and away from the throat. You’ll stay cooler that way. One center back pleat, an ample sized front chest pocket and of course properly cut shirttail that you wear tucked or untucked, with our signature shirttail flap buttons.

While we are pretty sure few of these shirts will ever absorb the hot sun and the breezy salt air of August in Bimini, sporting one at your next neighborhood bar-b-q will take you to Bimini and back…before anyone realizes you’ve been temporarily away from a boring conversation about your neighbor’s lawn fertilizer.   

Details:

• 3.4oz., 100% premium long-staple cotton, yarn-dyed and woven in Portugal
• Camp collar, single-needle construction with single loop neck closure
• Double needle construction throughout
• Just-right shirttails…wear tucked or untucked
• Single center-back placket
• Signature shirttail flap button
• Machine wash, dry-clean…or soak in a bucket of salty, Gulf Stream water, with a handful of Sargassum seaweed -- lay flat to dry on the dock
• Built in Portugal

A Captain’s role on a fishing boat includes many random chores that go beyond his ultimate responsibility as the “Master” on the vessel, which under maritime law, include all aspects of operation such as the safe navigation of the ship, its cleanliness and seaworthiness, safe handling of all cargo, management of all personnel, inventory of ship's cash and stores, maintaining the ship's certificates and documentation…and less we forget, the right to use deadly force to suppress piracy and mutiny. So, everyone, please behave!

No matter what the sea has put forth, when back at the dock with lines secured, engines silenced and the relentless sway of the sea calmed, it’s time for some well-earned personal tidying for both captain and crew.

And there’s no better combination to rejuvenate the senses and put those around at ease, than a freshwater shower followed by the donning of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt – light, airy and spry…pulled fresh from its assigned peg in the forward stateroom locker.

At first glance, I doubt you’ll appreciate the fit-and-finish that’s gone into the build of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt…the collar stand is a few mm’s taller than usual, and the shape is contoured and balanced to ride perfectly no matter how you choose to wear it. Its integrated point stays give the collar just the right amount of attitude while still commanding respect. A slightly narrowed and deepened front chest pocket won’t be obvious to all…nor will the slightly off-center buttons on the cuffs that make for a more relaxed fit when buttoned.

You will, however, immediately recognize the premium quality of its fabric as the sleeves glide up along your forearms and it begins to take shape as you draw it across your shoulders. Once saddled and buttons start meeting buttonholes, you’ll realize you are now wearing your new most favorite shirt. And what an ahoy moment this will be!

Saltwash Flannel Dock Shirt - Bimini Blue

Our Salty Dogs

Anyone who’s ever spent a day on the open ocean, taking salt spray over the bow will recognize and appreciate the look and lived-in feel of our Saltwashed Flannel Dock Shirt. For all those that haven’t…here’s your chance to say you have. Yet another “Idea From A Lifetime At Sea” that we pioneered back in 1995, when our saltwash treatment was thought of as just plain loopy. Well, you can call us salty…but don’t take us with a grain of salt. We start with a mid-weight, yarn-dyed Portuguese cotton twill, which is substantial, yet suitable for wearing year-round. After the shirts are fully built, we garment-wash ‘em in a bath solution containing rock salt that, among other things, creates slight color variances, a worn-in look and a softer feel. So, go ahead…try one of our Saltwashed Flannel Dock Shirts and surround yourself in a bit of salty air.
