The Key Largo baby bodysuit, for the town that is the first of the Keys and the Diving Capital of the World. Soft fine jersey with the Key Largo 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 Key Largo 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.

Cayo Largo appears on a 1639 map, the Overseas Railroad reached it in 1912, the Overseas Highway in 1938, and on June 1, 1952, Rock Harbor renamed itself for the Bogart film. Thirty-three miles long, it is the northernmost and largest of the Florida Keys, the first island reached on U.S. 1 from the mainland.

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, established in 1963, was the first undersea park in the United States, and the bronze Christ of the Abyss has stood on the reef since 1965. Hawk Channel and the only living coral barrier reef in the continental U.S. lie to the east, Florida Bay and the Everglades to the west. The Diving Capital 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.

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 park made the island the Diving Capital of the World. Dive shops line the highway; glass-bottom boats, snorkeling tours, and charters work Molasses Reef and the wrecks; and at Jules' Undersea Lodge, guests scuba down to the world's first underwater hotel and sleep beneath the surface. Coral nurseries now work to restore what heat and time have stressed — the island that once mined its reef now replants it.

Today Key Largo is the first of the Keys in every sense — first island down the highway, first undersea park in America, first name travelers learn on the way to Key West. Its story runs from Cayo Largo on a Dutch chart through pineapple wagons, a drowned railroad, and a Hollywood rename to the Diving Capital of the World. Wear a little of the island that gave its name to a film and took it back.
