The Orlando baby bodysuit, for the town that is The City Beautiful. Soft fine jersey with the Orlando 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 Orlando piece most often bought for someone else.

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

Aaron Jernigan settled here in 1843, the county seat moved to Orlando around 1856, and the town incorporated in 1875 with eighty-five residents. The South Florida Railroad arrived in 1880 and the citrus Golden Era followed, until the Great Freeze of 1894–95 changed the city’s course.

Lake Eola and its fountain are the civic symbol, swans glide beneath the oaks, Church Street Station dates to 1889, and brick streets still run through the historic downtown. Dozens of lakes dot the former orange-grove flatlands. The City Beautiful, long before the theme parks, 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.

The story belongs to Louis Comfort Tiffany, the jeweler's son who chose colored light over the family name. Between 1902 and 1905, on the North Shore of Long Island at Laurel Hollow near Oyster Bay, Tiffany built Laurelton Hall — an eighty-four-room house he designed down to the last fountain and pane of glass, ringed by gardens above Cold Spring Harbor and crowned by a minaret. He kept peacocks there and threw famous feasts. After his death the estate faltered; its contents were auctioned in 1946, and in 1957 fire gutted the long-abandoned house.

Once the South Florida Railroad arrived in 1880 — the same line that fed the young resort of Winter Park up the track — Orlando became the heart of Florida's citrus country. Through the "Golden Era" of the 1880s and early 1890s, orange groves spread across the flatlands and the crate labels of the day turned Orlando oranges into a brand. Men like Jacob Summerlin, the "Cattle King of Florida," carried the cattle-and-citrus story into the new city. Then the Great Freeze of 1894-95 devastated the groves and ended the boom — but the citrus identity, and that bright orange-crate-label look, never left. Orlando's older downtown still holds it: "Old Orlando" along Orange Avenue, the 1889 Church Street depot, and the historic neighborhoods around Lake Eola like Lake Eola Heights and Thornton Park, all under the oaks that give the City Beautiful its name.

Why People Visit Greater Orlando

The world comes to Orlando for its attractions, but its enduring charm is everything around them: lakes, oaks, swans, and a citrus-country past in the city itself, and a Winter Park two miles north that holds the finest Tiffany glass on earth. Visitors who slow down find gardens, historic downtown streets, lakefront paths, and a rescued palace's worth of colored light — a whole greater Orlando that feels a world away from the crowds.
