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, from the guy who draws them: I'm 5′8″, 160 lb, and I wear a Large in the tees, hoodies, and sweatshirts — perfect in length, comfortable around the middle. Comfort Colors run slightly long; that's their style.

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.
Retro coastal energy, snapback structure, and embroidery that reads from across the boardwalk. The Salty Wave trucker cap is built for the beach crowd that wants something with real character — not another blank hat, not another corporate logo. Salt in the air, waves on the front, snapback in the back. That's the whole deal.
Mesh back panel, foam structured front, and adjustable snapback — breathable enough for all-day coastal wear from the dock to the boardwalk. Embroidery that stays sharp through every session.
- Embroidered graphic — crisp detail through every wear
- Mesh back panel for breathability
- Structured foam front
- Adjustable snapback closure
- One size fits most
- Made to order, just for you
Who It's For
The surf crowd, the retro-heads, and the people who like their beach gear with a bit of attitude. If you want a hat that looks like it's been places, this one delivers from the first wear.
