Each segment of the crab is filled with intricate nautical wave patterns, geometric scales, and floral-inspired motifs, all secured by a bold, high-density red satin stitch outline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I personalize this sweatshirt?
Yes! We offer custom personalization. You can add a name, date, or short quote to the sleeve for an additional $5. This is a popular option for creating unique Maryland gifts or bridal party favors.

What is the inspiration behind the patchwork design?
This design is inspired by traditional coastal quilting. We wanted to combine the nostalgic feel of a handmade quilt with modern machine embroidery techniques to create a “blue crab art” piece you can actually wear.

How does the Oatmeal Heather color look in person?
The Oatmeal Heather is a soft, neutral cream with very subtle grey flecks. It provides a warm, natural backdrop that makes the navy and red embroidery pop, fitting perfectly into the coastal casual aesthetic.
