Choose the sleeve construction, fit, collar, colors, patterns, logos, optional zip pockets, names, and individual details.

Why Choose the Barton?

• UPF 50+ fabric: Provides sun-protective coverage for outdoor and water-based activity.
• Lightweight Poly-Lycra: Breathable, flexible, and comfortable in hot conditions.
• Quarter-zip neckline: Allows ventilation to be adjusted during changing activity and temperatures.
• Raglan or set-in sleeves: Choose a more athletic shoulder shape or a traditional sleeve construction.
• Optional zipped pockets: Add secure storage where practical.
• Full-color customization: Use colors, patterns, logos, names, numbers, and event branding throughout the garment.

Fabric and Performance

The Barton is made from Lightweight Performance Poly-Lycra with UPF 50+ protection.

The fabric feels smooth, breathable, and flexible, helping the garment move comfortably during sailing, fishing, outdoor work, travel, and active events. It is designed to provide sun coverage without the weight of a conventional fleece or jacket.

The polyester-based surface is suitable for full-color dye-sublimated artwork.

Raglan or Set-In Sleeves?

Choose Raglan Sleeves for an athletic appearance with seams running from the collar toward the underarm.

Choose Set-In Sleeves for a more traditional shirt construction with a defined shoulder seam.

The sleeve style can be selected around the intended look, artwork, and activity.

Fit and Sun-Shirt Options

The Barton is available in men’s, women’s, and children’s sizing, with available fits and sizes mixed within the same group order.

Available garment options include:

• Quarter-zip neckline
• Raglan or set-in sleeves
• Custom fit and collar options
• Optional zipped pockets
• Custom body, sleeve, collar, and panel colors
• Full-color patterns and graphics
• Club crests, company logos, sponsors, and event branding
• Individual names and numbers
• Custom labels and internal details

Carry the Design Across the Entire Shirt

You can customize:

• Base colors and Pantone-matched shades
• Seamless patterns, gradients, and all-over artwork
• Club crests, company logos, sponsors, and event graphics
• Individual names and numbers
• Collar, zip, sleeve, shoulder, and side-panel colors
• Raglan and contrast-panel layouts

The artwork is dye-sublimated into the fabric, helping it remain light and flexible without cracking or peeling.
