Nautical Sailor Bracelets that are the coastal New England tradition for over 60 years. This is the original sailor knot, or turks head knot bracelet that we have been making as a family since 1957. The white bracelet has been part of the traditional nautical look all the way back, but 15 years ago, we started adding color to let you reflect your personal style. Our cotton is all fiber dyed before milling it into cord. We use samples from the 1930's to ensure the custom cord we use meets our families rigorous standards. The cord is 100% cotton and will fade and develop depth of character like a favorite pair of jeans over time. Choose your size, and when it arrives, slip it on. if it is a tight fit, it will shrink to fit and stay. If it is loose, you'll be able to change it out to match your clothes. Everyone has their personal preference. (protip: when the bracelet is wet, it is slightly stretchy) Please select a size and color from the options. Please leave us a note if you have a special size request. Small - fits children and fine framed women with a wrist size of 5 - 6 inches, bracelet inside circumference of 6 inches.
