High quality, great dye, and craftwork.
I grew up a child of the sea, sailing up and down the East Coast exploring the gunkholes our family frequented year after year. The highlight for me in certain ports were the ship chandlers that I remember visiting in Greeport, LI, Montauk, Block Island, Newport, etc. I eventually learned to make my own Turks Head bracelets but being out of practice I found these to be lovely, nostalgic, and of a very high quality in both craftsmanship and dye quality. Soft and easy to wear with accurate sizing and BONUS, they come from one of my favorite places Mystic, CT. I grew up visiting many times per year, eventually lived in Groton and bought my first house in Westerly, RI. this bracelet has brought me back so many wonderful memories from the smell of centuries of  old cordage and whale oil to my favorite restaurants and haunts of adulthood. Thanks, I’m buying more for other seasons because I’m sure that the one on my wrist will be worn to a funk that will also remind me of some summer in the early 80’s and the girl I had a crush on, or a trip to Block Island for the 4th of July and Aldo’s pastries for breakfast.<br /><br />For reference the photo shows a well worn bracelet after being worn for several weeks this summer, in and out of pools a few times a week, time in the sun and outdoors, wet dry cycles daily. It holds up really well.
