This is our retro Miami 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.

Miami Beach was dredged out of mangrove sandbar by Carl Fisher, John Collins and the Lummus brothers; the Collins Bridge of 1913 was then the longest wooden bridge in the world, and the town incorporated on March 26, 1915. Fisher sold it with a billboard that read It’s Always June and an elephant named Rosie.

The hotel boom of the 1930s and 40s left about eight hundred Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and MiMo buildings along Ocean Drive, Collins and Washington, the world’s largest concentration, and the lifeguard towers on the sand became its postcard. A barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, South Beach 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.

Product FAQs

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.

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.

Today Miami Beach is pastel facades and turquoise water, neon nights and morning light on the sand — the most stylish stretch of barrier island in America. Our Miami Beach designs gather that identity — the alligator emblem, the Art Deco strip, the South Beach glow — into wearable form. Miami Beach, Florida — pastel Art Deco, neon nights, and the candy-colored towers where the sand meets South Beach.

What’s with the Art Deco? Walk down Ocean Drive and the whole street looks like a 1930s daydream painted in sherbet — pastel hotels with rounded corners and racing stripes, porthole windows, and neon that comes alive at dusk. This is the Miami Beach Architectural District, the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings anywhere in the world: roughly eight hundred of them, packed into the blocks of South Beach. Most went up in the 1930s — small stucco hotels built cheap and optimistic during the Depression — in a local style so distinct it earned its own name: Tropical Deco, with nautical curves, shady “eyebrows” over the windows, and a palette borrowed from the sea and the sunset.

Why People Visit Miami Beach

Miami Beach rewards visitors who want style with their sand: the world’s great Art Deco strip, a wide Atlantic beach, walkable streets, and neon nights. Add the South Beach glow and the year-round Florida sun, and the man-made island makes an easy case for itself.
