The Bridgeport tank, for the town that is the Park City where P.T. Barnum wintered his circus. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Bridgeport vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Bridgeport piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Bridgeport was settled in 1639 at the mouth of the Pequonnock and incorporated as a city in 1836. P.T. Barnum made it his home, wintered his circus here, gave the city Olmsted’s Seaside Park in 1864 and served as mayor in 1875; Lincoln spoke here in 1860, and the 1893 Barnum Museum is a National Historic Landmark.

The Frisbie Pie Company’s tins became the Frisbee, the first Subway opened here in 1965, and the mills of the industrial boom still stand. Connecticut’s largest city keeps more than 1,300 acres of parks, a deep natural harbor and the ferry to Port Jefferson. The Park City is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

All Bridgeport Connecticut Items

And always there were the parks. Olmsted's Seaside Park, founded in 1864, still curves for two miles along the Sound; Beardsley Park, laid out in 1878, holds Connecticut's only zoo. Add the smaller greens and the city's parkland runs past thirteen hundred acres. From Captain's Cove on the harbor to the beaches at the end of the peninsula, the waterfront stayed public and close at hand, and the Bridgeport–Port Jefferson ferry has crossed the Sound to Long Island since 1883. For a hard-working industrial city, Bridgeport kept an unusual amount of room to breathe.

No one shaped Bridgeport's character more than Phineas Taylor Barnum. The showman made the city his home, wintered his circus on its outskirts, promoted its growth as a tireless booster, and in 1875 was elected its mayor. His friend and most famous performer, Charles S. Stratton — known the world over as General Tom Thumb — was born in Bridgeport in 1838. Barnum poured his fortune back into the place: the Seaside Park land, public improvements, and the institution that became the Barnum Museum, opened in 1893 and today a National Historic Landmark. The greatest showman of his age chose to be a Bridgeport man.

Why People Visit Bridgeport

Bridgeport balances big-city history with shoreline ease. Visitors pair the Barnum story and the downtown blocks with park afternoons, a morning at the zoo, and a ferry ride across the Sound. It is varied, historic, and coastal, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public waterfront. History and everyday culture sit side by side here in a welcoming way.
