The Marco Island cap, for the town that rises from a thousand years of shells. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Marco Island vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Marco Island piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

An unstructured 6-panel dad cap with a low-profile fit and Permacurv visor, embroidered with our classic vintage-inspired finish. Breathable cotton, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are in our Embroidery footer.

The Calusa built shell mounds here for centuries, Indian Hill among them at fifty-one feet, and in 1896 the Smithsonian’s Pepper-Hearst Expedition under Frank Hamilton Cushing pulled the six-inch carved-wood Key Marco Cat from the muck, one of the finest Pre-Columbian finds in North America. William Collier founded the village of Marco in 1870.

Clam and oyster canneries ran at Caxambas Pass from 1903 to 1947, the first bridge came in 1938, and Deltona opened the modern island in 1965. The largest of the Ten Thousand Islands, it has a six-mile crescent of sugar-white sand, among the widest beaches in Florida and some of the best shelling. That shell-strewn shore 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.

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.

More From Marco Island Florida

All Marco Island Florida Items

What the brochures promised, the island delivered: a six-mile crescent of sugar-white sand, among the widest beaches in Florida, with shelling good enough to draw collectors from around the world. Marco is the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands — the maze of mangrove keys where the Gulf meets the Everglades — and the gateway to all of it: boat trips out through the islands, dolphins and roseate spoonbills, and the warm, shallow, almost-waveless water that makes the place feel like a long, lazy float.

Look at Marco from the air and you see a town laced with water — thousands of homes on navigable canals, a whole island engineered for boats. That is the work of three brothers. In the 1960s, Elliott, Robert, and Frank Mackle and their Deltona Corporation bought the island, dredged the mangroves into a grid of waterways and waterfront lots, and sold the dream of a planned island paradise to middle-class America. Marco opened to the public in 1965, drew tens of thousands to its grand opening, and a bridge soon linked it to the mainland. The quiet fishing island became one of Florida’s most sought-after addresses almost overnight.

Why People Visit Marco Island

Marco Island rewards visitors who want wide white sand, warm shallow water, and shells underfoot, with a rare depth of history close by. Add the boat trips into the Ten Thousand Islands and the year-round Gulf sun, and the case makes itself.
