Frequently Asked Questions

Is the name ‘Gulf of Mexico’ actually from 1550?

Yes! It has officially been known as the Gulf of Mexico since around 1550, long before modern borders. This shirt is a fun, historically accurate nod to its original name, despite recent political jokes.

Does this shirt shrink after washing?

Our tees are pre-shrunk to ensure a consistent fit. However, to keep it looking and feeling its absolute best, we recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat.

Is the fit for men or women?

Both! This is a classic unisex tee. Guys should order their normal size for a standard fit, and ladies might want to size down if they prefer a more fitted, snug look (or stick to their normal size for an oversized beach cover-up vibe).

What states does the Gulf of Mexico touch?

The US Gulf Coast includes Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. This shirt is a perfect tribute if you love visiting or living on any of those coastlines!

How fast will it arrive for my summer vacation?

Standard production and shipping usually take about 5-7 business days. If you’re heading out on a road trip soon, make sure to order at least a week and a half in advance to ensure it arrives before you pack!
