The Joshua Tree tank, for the town that is where the Mojave’s strangest tree reaches for the stars. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Joshua Tree vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Joshua Tree 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.

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

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.

More From Joshua Tree California

All Joshua Tree California Items

What’s with the two deserts? Joshua Tree sits on a seam. The town and its national park straddle the line where two great deserts meet: the higher, cooler Mojave to the west — above about 3,000 feet, where the rain is a little more generous and the Joshua trees grow — and the lower, hotter Colorado Desert to the east, all creosote, ocotillo, and cholla cactus. Cross the park from one side to the other and the whole world changes: spiky Joshua-tree forests and piled boulders give way to open cactus flats and palm-shaded oases fed by water forced up along the San Andreas fault. Two deserts, one town at the gateway — which is a lot of strangeness for one stretch of California.

Today Joshua Tree is a high-desert town with a double life: a national-park gateway of campgrounds and trailheads, and a bohemian outpost of artists, musicians, roadside galleries, and desert-modern cabins. Pioneertown’s 1946 movie-set saloons sit up the road; Noah Purifoy’s junk-sculpture museum sprawls across the open desert. It is rugged, weird, and wide open — a place people come to climb the rocks, watch the stars, and feel the desert get under their skin.

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.
