The St. Petersburg tank, for the town that is the Sunshine City. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the St. Petersburg vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer St. Petersburg 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.

Peter Demens’s Orange Belt Railway reached the Pinellas peninsula in 1888 and the town that grew at its end was named, by a coin toss, for his hometown of St. Petersburg, Russia. It incorporated in 1892 and became a city in 1903. On January 1, 1914, Tony Jannus flew the first scheduled commercial airline flight in the world from its waterfront to Tampa.

The Sunshine City set a Guinness record for consecutive sunny days from 1967 to 1969, spring training has run since 1914, the 1925 Vinoy stands on the bayfront, and the murals and the Dalí Museum have made it an arts town. More than half the city is water. The sunny, arty waterfront 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.

Geography shaped all of it. St. Petersburg sits on the tip of the Pinellas peninsula, with Tampa Bay on one side and Boca Ciega Bay and the Gulf beaches on the other — so much shoreline that more than half the city’s area is water. Waterfront parks ring the downtown, Sunken Gardens has kept its tropical jungle growing in the heart of the city for a century, and out at the peninsula’s end Fort De Soto guards miles of quiet beach. This is a city you are never far from the water in, and it has built its best life right at the edge of it.

What’s with the first airline? On New Year’s Day in 1914, a crowd of three thousand packed the St. Petersburg waterfront to watch something the world had never seen. The first ticket on a scheduled airline was auctioned off on the sand and won for four hundred dollars by a former mayor, A. C. Pheil. He climbed into a small open Benoist flying boat beside a young pilot named Tony Jannus, and twenty-three minutes later he stepped out in Tampa — the first paying passenger on the first scheduled commercial airline in the world. The whole age of air travel began here, a few feet above the bay, in the Sunshine City.

Why People Visit St Petersburg

St. Petersburg mixes sunshine, shoreline, and a genuine arts scene in a way few Florida cities can. Visitors come for the waterfront museums and murals, the pier and the bayfront parks, the nearby Gulf beaches, and the easy, bright pace of a city that has earned its Sunshine City name for more than a century. History sits comfortably beside everyday life here, from the spot where the first airline took flight to the gardens and galleries downtown, and the water is never more than a few blocks away.
