Online shopping can be tricky ~ we get it. To find your best fit, lay out a shirt that already fits you well on a flat surface and measure the width (armpit to armpit) and the length (shoulder to hem). Match those numbers to the size chart on this listing. Please check the size chart BEFORE ordering ~ printed-to-order items cannot be exchanged for sizing. Questions about fit?

Heavyweight 6.1 oz/yd² ring-spun cotton, grown in the USA, then garment-dyed for a softened, sea-glass depth that keeps improving in the wash. The relaxed fit hangs easy through long days, ferry rides, and the occasional meaningful stare at open water. Pre-washed for minimal shrinkage (what fits at checkout still fits after laundry day). Unisex cut with a classic crew neck. It runs a little small, so size up once for comfortably relaxed or twice for a cozy oversized drape.
Wash inside out in cool water with gentle detergent. Low spin, tumble dry low, and skip the chlorine bleach (the only chlorine we tolerate comes with a diving board).
