The Habitat standard

Made for the coast

From tees and hoodies to caps, towels and stickers, every piece is built for salt, sun and everyday wear.

  • Premium

    Materials first

    Heavyweight and organic cotton, corduroy and hemp. Picked to last well beyond the season.

  • Coast

    Designed on the Sunshine Coast

    Every design starts with the places we surf, from Mudjimba Island to Agnes Water.

  • Crew

    Mens, womens and kids

    Tees, caps, towels and more for the whole crew, from groms to grown-ups.

  • Built

    To last

    Made for salt, sun and sand, then washed and worn again. No fast-fashion shortcuts.

Our story

Born from the coast

If only there was something better.

That thought started Habitat Collective. Founder DB set out to make shirts that feel premium, stand up to real coastal life, and celebrate the Australian coast we call home, from the Sunshine Coast to Agnes Water.

We design every piece here and choose quality over fast fashion. We think you should always be able to ask: where are my clothes from?

Your questions

How much is shipping?

Shipping is free on orders over $100. For smaller orders, the shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

What's your returns policy?

You can return items within 28 days of delivery, as long as they're unworn, in resalable condition and have the tags attached. Full details are in our refund policy.

How do the tees fit?

Our heavyweight tees, like the Gasoline and Bloom, are cut oversized with dropped shoulders for a relaxed fit. Prefer a regular fit? Size down. Check the size guide on each product page for exact measurements.

What are the tees made from?

Our heavyweight range uses 220 GSM combed cotton that's preshrunk, with shoulder-to-shoulder tape and double-needle hems. The Palm Cove, Beach Day and Mudjimba Island tees are 100% organic cotton.

Where is Habitat Collective based?

We're a small independent brand from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, with roots in Agnes Water. Everything is designed here, inspired by the beaches we surf.

How should I wash my tee?

Wash cold and inside out, then hang it to dry. That keeps the print sharp and helps the fabric hold its shape.

Can I talk to a real person?

Yes. Send us a message through our contact page. You'll hear back from the founder, not a bot.
