This is our retro Fort Myers, Florida logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

All Fort Myers Florida Items

Our Fort Myers logo carries the Florida alligator above “Florida Territory — Est. 1845,” the shared retro emblem of our Florida towns, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old woodcut crate label. The 1845 date marks Florida statehood, and the alligator is the through-line that links Fort Myers to every other Florida town we make. The detail that makes this one Fort Myers is the City of Palms — the royal-palm boulevard, the Caloosahatchee riverfront, and the winter-colony downtown that grew up between them.

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.
