Two coasts, three cities, and one of them in another country entirely since the wedding. The group chat has outlived every job any of them has had, and the calls land at whatever hour two time zones can agree on.

When the tail is in the closet, the shirt has to say it for you. The Comfort Colors 1717 is a heavyweight 6.1 oz tee cut from 100% ring-spun cotton grown in the USA, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it already feels like a tide-worn favorite on the first wear (and preshrunk, so the fit holds from June to the cold-water months). It is the tee for the long business day that ends at the lake, and for the landlocked believer whose nearest ocean is a screensaver. Soft on the skin, sovereign in the room. Mermaid Dayz prints it for the woman who has a mersona and a mortgage.
