This is our retro Daytona Beach, 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.

Mathias Day founded the town in the 1870s on a former orange plantation, and it incorporated in 1876. In 1903 Olds and Winton raced on the beach’s uniquely hard-packed sand, and for three decades inventors and daredevils set land-speed records here, ending with Campbell’s Bluebird at 276 miles an hour in 1935; beach-road racing ran until 1958.

The beach itself is the landmark: twenty-three miles long and about five hundred feet wide at low tide, firm enough that you can still drive on it. The 1937 coquina Bandshell, the boardwalk and Main Street Pier face the Atlantic, and the 1887 Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse stands nearby. The Birthplace of Speed 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 Daytona Beach Florida

All Daytona Beach Florida Items

Today Daytona Beach is known the world over for its beach and its motorsports fame, while keeping the resort-town character that built it. Our Daytona designs gather that identity — the alligator-and-1845 emblem, the vintage beach-racing heritage, and the most-famous-beach romance — into wearable form. Daytona Beach, Florida — the World's Most Famous Beach, where in 1903 daredevils first turned hard-packed sand into the Birthplace of Speed.

The town began in the 1870s, when Mathias Day laid out a community on the former Williams Orange Plantation along the Halifax River. Henry Flagler's railroad reached the coast in the 1890s, and the resort grew; in 1926 Daytona, Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze consolidated into the City of Daytona Beach. Through it all the draw was the same: a uniquely wide, flat, hard-packed beach — firm enough that, to this day, you can still drive a car on the sand.
