The Naples baby bodysuit, for the town that built a pier the hurricanes could never keep down. Soft fine jersey with the Naples 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 Naples piece most often bought for someone else.

Unisex infant bodysuit made from soft, breathable fine jersey with a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) weight. Ribbed binding and side seams add durability, and the secure snap crotch makes changes easy. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

In the autumn of 1886 Louisville newspaper publisher Walter Haldeman and General John Stuart Williams bought 3,712 acres between the Gulf and Naples Bay for $11,136, named the town for Naples, Italy, and sold it as the Bay of Naples of America. The pier went up in 1888 and the post office sat on it the following year.

Hurricanes took the pier in 1910, 1926, 1944 and 1960 and the town rebuilt it every time. The 1895 Palm Cottage is the oldest house in Naples, the Orange Blossom Special first rolled into the depot on January 7, 1927, and the Tamiami Trail of 1928 tied the town to Miami and Tampa. The pier at sunset 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 Naples Florida

All Naples Florida Items

Our Naples logo carries Florida's alligator over "1845," the year of statehood and the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Florida place. The alligator is the Everglades in shorthand — and Naples sits right at the gateway to the Everglades, the Ten Thousand Islands, and Big Cypress, where the gladesman frontier meets the Gulf-coast resort. Printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old crate label or a piece of marsh-camp signage, it reads as Old Florida. What makes this one Naples is the place behind it: the 1886 winter colony, the 1888 pier, the swamp buggy, and the home by the Gulf.

Today Naples is one of the most polished resort cities on the Gulf — the paradise its founders advertised — but underneath the galleries and the golf is a genuine Old-Florida story: a winter colony a Louisville newspaperman named after an Italian bay, a pier that hurricanes keep testing and the town keeps rebuilding, and an Everglades frontier that gave the world the swamp buggy. Our Naples designs gather that identity into wearable form — the pier, the alligator, the 1886 founding, the Paradise Coast. From a newspaperman's American Bay of Naples to the pier that storms could never keep down — wear a little of the Old-Florida Paradise Coast.
