The Fort Myers tank, for the town that is the City of Palms where Edison wintered. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Fort Myers vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Fort Myers 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.

This unisex jersey tank is made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit, side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. It runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

Today Fort Myers is a city of nearly a hundred thousand, a snowbird and year-round hub on the Southwest Florida coast, anchored by the Edison and Ford Winter Estates and the revived River District downtown. The wider region took a hard blow when Hurricane Ian came ashore in Lee County in 2022, and the recovery has been long. The royal palms along McGregor still stand, and downtown's First Street still fills on a weekend evening.

The Caloosahatchee is the spine of all of it — the river that carried Edison's boat upstream and still defines the downtown edge, running west to San Carlos Bay and the Gulf. Around the city the subtropical landscape is its own draw: the manatees that gather in the warm water at Manatee Park each winter, the elevated boardwalks of the Six Mile Cypress Slough, and the lakes and gardens of Lakes Park, with the barrier islands just offshore. It is a working subtropical city wrapped around a historic core — the kind of place where a riverside laboratory and a cypress swamp sit a few miles apart.

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.
