Marine Layers: Classy Tees in Crazy Sizes

“Mike Natenshon started Marine Layer because he couldn’t find new t-shirts that fit and felt like his precious few favorites and his girlfriend was going to dump him if he kept wearing the same 5 tees from college. It took about a year of trial and error and a heap of credit card debt to get the first shirt made, but it was a beauty.”
You can read about how Marine Layer sustainably manufactures their tees in the US here.
So what’s so special about Marine Layer? Well for one, they’ve thrown normal sizing guidelines out the window and introduced a whole new method. Simply use their “Fit Finder” to decide if you’re a Smedium, Medium, Marge, Large, Larger or Extra-Large.
Next, it’s all about the feel. I received a tee from Marine Layer check out and hands down, it’s the softest tee ever. Crazy, comfortably, you’ll want to live in these tees soft. I was planning on giving it to my boyfriend, but now I’m tempted to claim it as my own. If you want to check it out yourself before committing to a tee, Marine Layer will send you a free sun glass cloth made of their super-soft cotton for free.
If you read the manufacturing info above, you’ll also know how much effort goes into the making of these tees. It’s evident that the tees are well made when you actually check on out; these won’t fall apart like the rest of the tees in your closet.
So to sum up: perfect fit, super soft, high quality. Oh and did I mention that Marine Layers offers free shipping AND free returns – on all orders? So ordering is essentially risk free, as you’ll be refunded whatever you paid. Perfect, right?

I’m not a big fan of logos, so I prefer the Blank tees. The shirt I received is the Super Blank T ($29) in Shamrock Shake Green (pictured above). The color is gorgeous, but if green’s not your thing, there are several other shades available. All are rich and non-intrusive, so they’ll blend easily into your guy’s wardrobe – no worries!
This holiday season, get your guy something he’ll really love – a super soft, super stylish tee from Marine Layer!
