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 tee. 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.
Big. Red. Lobster. No explanation needed, no qualification required. The lobster is a coastal icon, a New England institution, and the kind of subject that earns its spot on a garment-dyed tee without even trying. Bold enough to be noticed from across the dock, honest enough to be worn forever. The definitive lobster tee — because some things don't need to be complicated.
Built on 100% ring-spun US cotton — individually garment-dyed so the color pools at the seams, fades at the edges, and makes every shirt one of a kind. Pre-washed, pre-shrunk, and already broken in from day one. Gets softer with every wash.
- Unisex relaxed fit, true to size
- Classic crew neck, short sleeves
- 100% ring-spun US cotton
- Individually garment-dyed — no two are exactly alike
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk, soft from the first wear
- Made to order, just for you
Who It's For
The lobster roll loyalists, the New England regulars, and everyone who believes the lobster deserves its own flagship tee. For the coastal New Englanders and the people who wish they were — the clam shack crowd, the trap haulers, and the seafood faithful.
