This is our retro Orlando, Florida logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

More From Orlando Florida

All Orlando Florida Items

Today "Orlando" means the world to travelers, but its oldest identities are the quiet ones: a lake-dotted City Beautiful with swans on the water and orange country at its back, and a tree-shaded Winter Park two miles north where a jeweler's rescued light still burns. Our Orlando designs gather that heritage — the gator-and-1845 emblem, Lake Eola, and the citrus Golden Era — into wearable form, with a proud nod to the whole greater-Orlando story. Wear the history, and carry a little of it home.

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.
