Ocean Pacific (Op) Polo Shirt

Ocean Pacific, commonly known as Op, is an iconic American brand that deeply influenced the global surf culture. Founded in the 1960s as a surfboard brand, it was reimagined in 1972 by Jim Jenks in Southern California to create apparel specifically designed for the surfing lifestyle. The brand became famous for its corduroy shorts and vibrant beachwear, defining the 'West Coast' aesthetic for decades.

Today, Ocean Pacific is owned by Iconix International (formerly Iconix Brand Group), a global brand management company. Under Iconix's ownership, the brand is licensed to various retailers and manufacturers worldwide. Consequently, manufacturing occurs in multiple countries across Asia and South America, depending on the specific licensing agreement and the retailer carrying the line. In the United States, Ocean Pacific has notably been a long-standing exclusive brand for Walmart, which handles much of its local distribution.
