The Fort Myers cap, for the town that is the City of Palms where Edison wintered. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Fort Myers vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Fort Myers piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

A fort went up on the Caloosahatchee in 1850 for the Third Seminole War and saw the southernmost land battle of the Civil War in February 1865. Thomas Edison arrived in 1885 and built Seminole Lodge the next year; Henry Ford bought The Mangoes next door in 1916, and the two estates still stand side by side on the river.

Edison lined McGregor Boulevard with royal palms and gave the city its name; the Royal Palm Hotel opened in 1898, the railroad arrived in 1904, and one of the largest banyan trees in the country grows at the estates. The river district is the gateway to Sanibel, Captiva and the Gulf. The City of Palms 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.

More From Fort Myers Florida

All Fort Myers Florida Items

Fort Myers is the City of Palms — a Seminole-War fort on the Caloosahatchee that grew, beneath a corridor of royal palms, into Southwest Florida's great river town. Our Fort Myers designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the City of Palms. Wear the river and the royal-palm road.

The Royal Palm Hotel opened in 1898, the railroad reached town in 1904, and Fort Myers grew into the seat of Lee County. Downtown filled in along First Street — the brick storefronts, the 1908 Arcade Theatre, the old bank buildings — the district now revived and known as the River District. The royal palms Edison started spread up McGregor and through the historic neighborhoods of Edison Park and Dean Park, and the City of Palms settled into its place on the Southwest Florida coast. By the 1920s the Tamiami Trail had bridged the river and opened the road south, and the winter crowds kept coming for the climate Edison had advertised to the world.

Why People Visit Fort Myers

Fort Myers rewards travelers who want history, gardens, and the river rather than only a beach — the inventors' winter estates, the royal-palm boulevard, and a revived downtown on the Caloosahatchee. People come for the Edison and Ford estates and the City-of-Palms streetscape, for the manatees and cypress boardwalks, and for an easygoing Southwest Florida day where Gilded-Age history and subtropical nature sit side by side.
