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
Every Five Tides design begins as a hand drawing in a New Hampshire studio — drawn, colored, and refined by one person before it ever touches a garment. Printed to order on Comfort Colors, so the shirt you get was made for you, not pulled from a warehouse shelf.
A Cheerful School of Pufferfish. A Deep Blue Ocean. Your New Favorite Tee.
Vibrant golden pufferfish swim across deep blue waters in a retro-styled illustration that's playful, sophisticated, and unmistakably coastal. The Five Tides Puffer Fish tee is a wearable reminder of those perfect seaside moments — the kind you want to carry with you long after the trip ends.
Garment-dyed after construction for rich, lived-in color and that perfectly broken-in softness from day one. Wear it on the pier, at a casual seafood dinner, on a weekend coastal drive, or anytime you want to channel laid-back ocean energy.
