Size Chart

Took my 4-year-old down to the lake last Sunday wearing this. Same dock my dad brought me to when I was his age. He pointed at the back of the shirt and said "daddy, fisherman." I lost it. Quality is excellent, fabric heavy, print sharp. Going to last us a lot of sunsets.

Got this in Large, 6'1" 195lbs, fits perfect with a little room. Camo sleeves look way better in person than online. Wore it to work the next day (I'm an electrician) and 3 guys asked where I got it. Ordering 2 more in different colors.

My daughter (6) picked this out for me for Father's Day. She told mom "daddy is the Rodfather because he catches fishies." Wore it that night, she wouldn't let go of me for the photo. Best gift I've gotten in years and it came from a 6-year-old.

James R.

Brought this to Destin for our family beach week. Wore it 4 of the 7 days — pier fishing, sunset walks, even out to dinner once. UPF actually works, didn't burn through it. Light enough for Florida heat. Wife wants me to get her the women's version.

Verified

David

Bought this expecting to only wear it fishing. Now I wear it everywhere — backyard cookouts, neighborhood block parties, taking the dog out at dusk. It's the most comfortable shirt I own. Bought 2 more last week. Heavy fabric, breathable, doesn't get pit stains.

Doug H.

Got one for me, one for my wife, smaller one for my 5-year-old. We wore matching shirts down to the lake last weekend and got stopped 3 times by people asking where we got them. My boy walks around saying "I'm a Rodfather too." Worth every penny.

Verified

Kevin L.

The print on the back is the whole reason I bought this. Fisherman silhouette + sunset + "RODFATHER" arched over the top — looks like a movie poster. My son walks behind me and points at it every time. He'll be the next Rodfather one day. That's the plan.

It was perfect and my Son loved it. Good work!

Hi Dixie, that means a lot — so glad your son loved it. Thank you for letting us be part of it.

Took 10 days to ship

Quality of the shirt is great but shipping was longer than I expected. Worth it but plan ahead if it's a gift.

A
Amanda P.
Sizing chart was accurate

Used the chest measurement on the chart. Got the 2XL for my 48-inch chest. Fits exactly how described — not tight, not baggy.

W
Wayne R.
Solid weight, not thin

Held it up to the light and it's not see-through. Heavier than the $15 graphic tees at Walmart. Closer to a $35-40 quality fabric.

M
Matt P.
Will buy the matching one for myself

Got this for my dad. Already eyeing the bundle deal to get one for myself and one for my son. Three generations of Reel Cool men.

S
Steve R.
My grandson calls grandpa 'Reel Cool'

Bought this for my dad from my 4-year-old. Now my son calls him 'Reel Cool Grandpa.' Stuck instantly.

J
Joe S.
Made my dad's day

He's 71, fished since he was 8. Said it's the nicest shirt anyone's given him in years. Worth every cent for that.

B
Beth H.
Print didn't fade after first wash

Washed it cold inside-out per the tag. Color came out exactly how it went in. No cracking on the back graphic.

R
Ron S.
My boy of 8 wants a kid version

He saw daddy wear it and now wants his own. Asked if you make a youth size.

T
Tom P.
Held up after 4 washes already

Cold wash, hang dry. Four cycles deep and the print is still bright. No pilling on the body either.

K
Kirk G.
Solid Father's Day gift

Bought this for my dad's 62nd. He's been a bass fisherman his whole life. He opened the box, immediately changed shirts, and wore it to brunch. Made his whole week.

B
Brian D.
Bundle deal would have been clearer

Almost missed the buy-2-get-1-free. Maybe make it more obvious on the product page. Got it eventually but had to scroll back.

E
Eric H.
Worth the wait

Shipping took about 9 days to Ohio. Worth it. Print quality is sharper than the budget shirts I've ordered before.

T
Tom B.
Looks even better in person

The sunset/water print on the back is what sold me. In person the orange-to-blue gradient pops more than online. Got the XL for my husband (6'1, 220) and the fit hangs right.

E
Eric C.
Looks great but neckline gapes

Print and fabric are solid 5-star. Neckline is a bit wider than I'd like — kind of falls open when I lean forward. Knocked it down to 3 for that.

J
Joe J.
Wish sleeves were 1" longer

Great shirt overall. I'm 6'3 and the sleeves hit just above my wrist bone. Would prefer a touch longer for casting but workable.

S
Steve G.
Stitching is clean

Inspected the seams when it came in. No loose threads, hem is even all the way around. For the price point I was bracing for something flimsier.

D
Dean M.
Wish there was a hat to match

Would absolutely buy a matching cap with the same camo/sunset combo. Hint hint.

G
Garrett M.
Print is clean and detailed

You can actually see the rod and the water ripples in the back graphic. Not blurry like cheap heat transfers.

K
Kevin P.
Inside collar tag is rough

Tiny gripe — the printed inside tag is a touch scratchy at the back of the neck. Fabric itself is soft.

G
Glen F.
Nice but boxy on slim frames

I'm 6'0 165lbs slim build. M is too tight in arms, L is a bit roomy in the torso. Went with L. Most fishing shirts run boxy though, not unique to this one.

M
Matt N.
Felt premium for the price

Was honestly expecting something thinner at this price point. The fabric has real weight. Not heavy, but not see-through cheap either.

T
Tony L.
Fits true to size

Ordered the L for my 5'10 185lb frame. Sleeve length is right at my wrist bone, body length tucks in clean. Doesn't run boxy.

G
Glen N.
Print on the back tells the story

Most fishing shirts I've owned have a tiny logo. This one has the whole sunset/water scene across the back. People at the bait shop kept asking where I got it.

B
Beth C.
Color matched the photos

Sometimes the camo looks gray online and shows up brown. This one is actually gray-camo like the listing. Glad I didn't have to return it.

L
Linda D.
Camo pattern is realistic

Not the cartoon camo you see on cheap shirts. Looks like real woodland camo with proper shading.

B
Bobby H.
Sizing chart could use more detail

Ordered XL for my 6'1 235lb husband and it's a little snug in the chest. The chart said XL was right. Going to grab the 2XL next.

S
Sarah N.
Husband wears it every Saturday now

Bought it as a 'just because' gift in May. It's already his go-to Saturday shirt. He owns about 12 fishing shirts and this one cycled to the top.

D
Dale G.
Bought for the in-laws fishing trip

Father-in-law saw it and asked where to buy one for himself. That's high praise from him.

C
Carol M.
Color slightly darker than photo

The camo gray came in a hair darker than what I saw on my screen. Still looks good, just heads-up if you want exact photo-match.

K
Karen R.
Fit my husband perfect

He's 5'11, 195lbs, broad shoulders. L was right. Not tight in the shoulders, room in the chest.

D
Dale W.
Took 12 days to arrive

Shirt is nice once it got here. Tracking was vague for about a week. Customer service replied within a day when I asked though.

H
Hank B.
Sleeve length perfect for casting

I'm 6'2 and most long sleeves ride up when I'm casting all day. These stay put through about 4-5 hours on the kayak.
