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.

This relaxed-fit sweatshirt brings a gentle, seaside mood to everyday wear. Soft ring-spun cotton with a touch of polyester gives the fabric a smooth, slightly substantial hand that holds color and shape. The front artwork—an illustrated pelican perched on a weathered dock post with playful lettering—reads like the memory of a slow morning by the water: gull calls, salt air, and the comfort of worn wood beneath your feet. Wear it on cool mornings while walking the shoreline, running errands in town, or sitting with friends at a dockside café. The attention to small details—ribbed collar, cuffs and hem that return to shape, necktape for comfort, and an optional embroidered chest accent—keeps this sweatshirt feeling thoughtfully made and lived-in.
