The North Carolina Collection

North Carolina’s coast is a wild, beautiful boundary—part working waterway, part shifting mystery. From the bustling marinas of Wrightsville Beach to the quiet creeks near Ocracoke, from the Outer Banks to the Cape Fear River, it’s a place where boaters chase drum, sailors dodge shoals, and families build entire summer traditions around ferry rides and fish fries. It’s also home to one of the most iconic offshore landmarks in America: the Frying Pan Tower—an old Coast Guard light station turned symbol of grit, adventure, and everything the open water stands for.

Our North Carolina Collection brings all of that to life. These shirts and accessories are made with real NOAA charts that trace the twists and turns of inlets, backwaters, and shoals that locals know like the back of their hand. Whether you’re slipping through Beaufort Inlet or cruising the Intracoastal near Emerald Isle, there’s something in this collection that’ll make you smile and say, “That’s my spot.”

We’re a small, independent family business based in Michigan, but many of these designs started with North Carolinians asking for a favorite harbor or fishing ground. So we build them one by one—each pattern handcrafted from scratch, with no shortcuts. That personal connection is why our pieces make such meaningful gifts—for boaters, beach house owners, charter captains, and even the crew who’s always first to jump off the dock.

And if you’re part of a yacht club, fishing tournament, or marina crew, we can customize your chart pattern to include logos or event artwork right in the fabric—no embroidery needed. We’ve even created custom Frying Pan Tower gear for those who know and love that lonely, legendary outpost 30 miles off the coast. It’s the kind of detail that sets our work apart—and keeps people coming back.

Because in North Carolina, the tide always matters. And every place on the chart has a story worth telling.
