The Heritage Collection
Garment-dyed Comfort Colors fleece with an embroidered lobster and our new checkered hem tag for adults, lightweight hoodies and soft toddler crews for kids, and coastal carryalls and watch caps.
Made for days like these.
Small-batch coastal apparel from New England — built to live in, designed to fade beautifully.
Shop the collectionThe Checkered Lobster is a small coastal line made for beach days, boat rides, coffee runs, and everything in between. Easy, lived-in pieces made to wear often, wash often, and get better with time.
A family, a boat, a lobster
The Checkered Lobster started with traps, a small boat, and a mark we drew for the fun of it. Everything we make comes out of that same habit: keep it simple, make it well, and make it something you'll actually reach for on a Saturday morning.
Our storySister studio
Where the checkered lobster was first drawn
The Checkered Lobster was born at Sun Hee Studios, where the coastal prints first started. Those ideas naturally found their way onto apparel — easy pieces inspired by life near the water. Prints, cards, and originals still live over at the studio.
