FUN FACT……
The "Pendletones" (musical band) Uniform: In 1961 and 1962, a Southern California vocal group named themselves The Pendletones specifically after their favorite surf uniform—plaid Pendleton Board Shirts worn open over t-shirts and khakis. In late 1962, they changed their name to The Beach Boys.
The Album Covers: The band wore this exact silhouette of Pendleton shirts on the covers of their earliest breakthrough albums and 45 RPM records (like Surfin' Safari and Surfer Girl), cementing it as an icon of mid-century rock 'n' roll and surf culture.
