Red Tiki Skull Tee | Five Tides Garment-Dyed Surf Graphic
Find Your Perfect Fit
Built for the coast. Made to move. Here's everything you need to find your ideal size — and understand what makes our apparel worth wearing.
What is Ring-Spun Cotton?
Not all cotton is created equal. Our tees are crafted from ring-spun cotton — a premium process that makes a real difference in how your shirt looks, feels, and lasts.
Ring-spun cotton is made by continuously twisting and thinning the cotton strands, aligning the fibers in the same direction. The result:
- Softer to the touch — noticeably smoother than standard cotton
- Stronger and more durable — less pilling, longer life
- Better for printing — smooth surface holds graphic detail and color vibrancy longer
- Lightweight and breathable — ideal for coastal climates and active wear
What is Garment Dyeing?
Garment dyeing gives our tees and hoodies that lived-in, vintage look straight out of the bag. The entire finished garment is dyed as one piece — so the dye absorbs unevenly, pooling at seams and fading at edges, creating a naturally worn, one-of-a-kind character.
- Rich color with natural variation — no two shirts look exactly alike
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk — what you order is what you get
- Vintage coastal aesthetic built in — looks like a favorite shirt you've had for years
- Gets better with age — color softens beautifully with each wash
⚠️ Care tip: Wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low. Slight color variation in the first wash is normal — it's part of the character.
