About the pattern
Breakwater is a raglan tee: the sleeves run up to the neckline in one piece, so there is no shoulder seam to rub under a wetsuit or backpack. Cut in four-way stretch fabric it becomes a rash guard; in cotton jersey it is an everyday raglan T-shirt.
Men's sizes EU 44 to 58, drafted with a close fit; choose swim fabric for a snug rash guard or jersey for a relaxed tee.
