Driving Big Sur: The Inspiration Behind Our Favorite California Coast T-Shirt
Some drives are just drives. And then there’s Highway 1 through Big Sur. The kind of route that rewires your soul a little. Hugging the cliffs. Crashing waves on one side, towering redwoods on the other. That salty Pacific wind. That feeling of being so far from everything that nothing else matters.
We still remember the first time we crossed Bixby Creek Bridge—early morning, fog curling around the canyon like smoke, sun fighting to break through. It’s one of those iconic California moments that’s impossible to explain unless you’ve done it. So we decided to bottle it up—in the form of a graphic t-shirt.
Our Big Sur T-Shirt is printed on a deep heather atlantic tee that echoes the mood of the ocean. A two-color screen print shows the coastline as we saw it that day: jagged, bold, and unforgettable, with Bixby Bridge stretched proudly across the cliffs.
But it wasn’t just the views. After pulling off at a scenic overlook, we cruised south and stopped at Big Sur Bakery—a hidden gem tucked into the forest that serves wood-fired everything and the kind of pastries you remember three states later. Coffee outside, under the pines, still buzzed from the drive. That’s the feeling we’re after.
This shirt is a tribute to California’s most iconic stretch of road, and to the little moments that happen along the way. It’s for anyone who's taken that drive, or just dreamed about it. For road trippers, trail chasers, coast wanderers, and fog lovers. For people who understand that some places stay with you long after you’ve left them behind.
Now available. Screen printed by hand. Built for the open road.
