STYLING IDEAS

Take a hand towel, fold it crosswise, cut a hole for the head ... et voilà: the 'Hand Towel Top' is born! This simple garment is surprisingly versatile: it's just as home on the beach as it is on a night out.

On the beach, the 'Hand Towel Top' looks great with a bathing suit, sarong or jean shorts. On a night out, style it with simple high waisted pants, jeans, or a slip skirt like Jordy in this example with our 'Fish Smooch' Hand Towel Top.

ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

It’s a briny, wind-whipped, and sun-kissed match made in heaven. Tombolo grew up with Boston Whalers; they're memory-making machines that are passed down generations.

We made an 8-piece collection of ‘escapewear’ to celebrate the ultimate escape vehicles and the richness of the memories they forge.

Care & Composition

100% organic cotton terry (320gsm), carefully engineered to ensure lightweight comfort, breathability and ease of care. This fabric is double-faced - in has terry loops on both sides. Organic cotton uses less water than conventional cotton and no chemicals that can harm the environment and workers. Machine wash cold, and hang dry or tumble dry lowWhile we preshrink all of our fabric, cotton knit still has a tendency to shrink a small degree (~1-4%) on the first wash. To minimize shrinkage, avoid high heat dryers

    Adorable top. Size M/L is

    "Adorable top. Size M/L is a great fit for me 5’4” 170lbs. Shipping ultimately is incredibly slow and it took a full 9 days before it arrived after I ordered."

    Bought it for one niece

    "Bought it for one niece - had to buy another for the next niece so she wouldn’t steal it !"

    I don’t even remember how

    "I don’t even remember how I came across this brand, but the lobster towel shirt had been on my mind for months. One Friday early evening out at a car show at Meschutt Beach in Hampton Bays, I ran to the coolest lady wearing the lobster shirt. I complemented her and told her how great she looked and how that exact shirt had been in my cart in an open browser tab for months. Her reply was she’d give it to me right this very moment if she wasn’t naked underneath! Then proceeded to tell me to just get it, life is short, rock the lobster. I’m so happy with my purchase, the length, the fit, the feel is perfect. And the hidden eye hooks are an extra added bonus I had no idea were there. If you’re on the fence, rock the lobster."

    Adore these ladies hand towel

    "Adore these ladies hand towel tops! Comfy & fun! I purchased three for my 3 daughters! monkey, starfish and the lobster! I already have the “Boston Whaler!” Spending Christmas on Captiva Island… will be the perfect gifts."

    Everyone Needs Some Monkey Business!

    "If you like attention, buy this top. I get compliments on it everywhere I have worn it, including church! I am 5' 2" and weight 110 pounds, bought the x-sm, and it fits great. I wear a camisole underneath just to keep things G rated. I hand wash it, the fabric dries wrinkle free, and is holding up well. It is certainly a conversation starter!"

    SO CUTE- pairs well with

    "SO CUTE- pairs well with a bathing suit or sundress. Obsessed."

    Really great shirt! I actually

    "Really great shirt! I actually wore it with just the top buttoned but with the rest open and it got so many compliments! I wish there was one more clasp near the bottom so that when I do want to wear it all the wrapped up it goes down to the bottom and stays fully closed. Regardless totally awesome and people could still tell it was a lobster even when I left it open and it was cut in half."

    Wife loved it, will def

    "Wife loved it, will def be getting her more towel top for our weekend getaways!"

    As a New England girlie

    "As a New England girlie living in Europe this top is the perfect Trans-Atlantic unifier! Pairs equally well with a glass of rose and Piz-Buin or an Arnold Palmer and Off Deep Woods. Polo in Newport, or sailing in Sardinia- this guy's got you covered in compliments. The cream colour brings out your awesome tan, the red lobster deters people from the common and obvious sunburn cliche. Absolute Win."
