Nautical Sailor Bracelets

A little help choosing

The original is the bracelet many people remember wearing all summer. Narrow takes up less room on your wrist. Wide leaves more room for the colors you've picked. If you've got a particular combination in mind, start with the striped bracelets and choose the colors together.

The traditional cotton slip-on bracelets shrink when wet. On a wrist close to the size of the bracelet, a wet bracelet will shrink down and stay put. That's the old sailor bracelet tradition. Order the next size up if you'd like a chance of taking it off later. We can't promise it will slide back over your hand once it's shrunk. That advice is for the slip-on sailor knots. For the adjustable woven and chevron bracelets, check the fit details on their own listings.

You'll find adjustable woven and chevron bracelets here as well. Check the size choices on the listing you're ordering. If you need a special size, send us a comment through the website and we'll modify it for you.

Rather tie the knot yourself?

There's a booklet and cord for that, too. You can work on your own sailor bracelet instead of starting with one we've already tied.
