The Joshua Tree baby bodysuit, for the town that is where the Mojave’s strangest tree reaches for the stars. Soft fine jersey with the Joshua Tree vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Joshua Tree piece most often bought for someone else.

Our unisex infant bodysuit pairs light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with ribbed binding, side seams, and a secure snap crotch for easy changes. It's soft and breathable, in 100% combed ringspun cotton for solid colors and a cotton–polyester blend for heather shades.

The Pinto Culture and later the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi and Mojave peoples lived in this high desert for thousands of years; Jedediah Smith crossed on the Mojave Trail in 1826, miners worked the Lost Horse Mine in the 1870s, and homesteaders came under the Small Tract Act of 1938. Minerva Hoyt’s campaign made Joshua Tree a national monument on August 10, 1936, and a national park on October 31, 1994.

At about 2,700 feet in the Morongo Basin, where the cooler Mojave meets the lower Colorado Desert, the Joshua trees crowd the horizon among piles of monzogranite boulders, Bill Keys’s ranch keeps the homestead years, Pioneertown’s 1946 false fronts stand nearby, and the night skies are among the darkest in Southern California. The high desert 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?

More From Joshua Tree California

All Joshua Tree California Items

The town itself is young. Prospectors came for gold and silver in the late 1800s — the Lost Horse Mine was the richest — and cattle ranchers like Bill Keys built homesteads at the desert springs. In 1938 the Small Tract Act handed out five-acre parcels, and “jackrabbit homestead” cabins scattered across the flats. Meanwhile a Pasadena conservationist, Minerva Hoyt, had spent years lobbying to protect the desert’s plants; her campaign won Joshua Tree National Monument in 1936, and in 1994 it became a full national park. The town grew up as the gateway at its door.

Today Joshua Tree is where the Mojave’s strangest tree reaches for the darkest, starriest sky. Our Joshua Tree designs gather that identity — the bear-and-star emblem, the trees, the boulders, the desert night — into wearable form. Joshua Tree — where two deserts meet under California’s darkest sky.

Why People Visit Joshua Tree

People come for the strangeness: trees out of a storybook, boulders made for scrambling, and a night sky so dark the Milky Way throws shadows. Pair the park with the town’s desert-arts scene and you have a high-desert getaway unlike anywhere else in California.
