The Panama City Beach tank, for the town that has the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Panama City Beach vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Panama City Beach 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.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Sugar-white quartz sand washed down from the Appalachians over millennia meets turquoise Gulf water along nine miles of shore here. Gideon Thomas held the resort’s grand opening in 1936, the beach communities incorporated in 1953 and merged into the present city in 1970.

Goofy Golf’s hand-built concrete dinosaurs have stood since 1959, the Miracle Strip Amusement Park ran Florida’s first roller coaster from 1963 to 2004, and St. Andrews State Park keeps the old turpentine mills and wartime gun platforms at the east end. A little neon nostalgia on the Miracle Strip 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.

What’s with the Miracle Strip? For half a century the stretch of beach road through Panama City Beach was the Miracle Strip — a glorious tangle of neon, putt-putt, surf shops, and old-Florida kitsch, anchored by an amusement park. The Miracle Strip Amusement Park opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1963 around the Starliner, a wooden out-and-back roller coaster that was the first ever built in Florida. For forty years the Starliner’s white wooden hills were the skyline of the beach; in 1980 someone rode it for 336 straight hours and set a world record. The park closed in 2004 and the coaster was hauled away, but the name still means something here: the Miracle Strip is shorthand for old, neon, unpretentious Florida fun.

A word about the name, because it confuses people. There are two Panama Citys here: the older inland city of Panama City, the Bay County seat across the bay, and Panama City Beach, the resort city on the Gulf — separate towns with separate governments. (Neither is the one in Central America, though the inland city is said to have taken its name from its spot on a straight line between Chicago and the canal.) When people picture “Panama City” with white sand and neon and a roller coaster, they mean the Beach.

Why People Visit Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach rewards visitors who want bright white sand, warm emerald water, and an unpretentious good time, with a thread of retro neon still running through it. Add the piers, Shell Island, and the year-round Gulf sun, and the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches make their own case.
