One chart for everybody. Every tee, hoodie, and sweatshirt we sell is a unisex Comfort Colors cut — there are no separate men's and women's sizes. The height-and-weight picks work the same for men and women, because the garment is built the same. If you're used to fitted women's styles, know this cut is relaxed — that's the fit.
Real fit: JP — who draws every design — is 5′8″, 160 lb and wears a Large sweatshirt. It fits him perfectly in length and fine around the middle. Comfort Colors run slightly long — that's their style. Between sizes, or want it roomier? Go up one.

The story of this design
A coral hand-drawn lobster and a buoy — the two signatures of the Cape — with “Cape Cod” lettered across a slate blue ground. JP drew the unofficial uniform of a Cape summer for the people who count the days until they're back over the bridge. Harbor mornings and beach bonfires, built right in.

Size, fit & materials
The garment: Comfort Colors 1566 fleece — cotton-rich and garment-dyed for a lived-in feel, relaxed through the body, and pre-shrunk so the size you order is the size it stays.
Fit: True to size — size up for a relaxed fit. JP is 5′8″, 160 lb and wears a Large.
The art: hand-drawn by JP — and the design scales proportionally across sizes, so it sits the same on a Small as on a 3XL.
