The Pensacola baby bodysuit, for the town that is America’s first settlement. Soft fine jersey with the Pensacola 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 Pensacola piece most often bought for someone else.

Soft, breathable, and easy to change: an infant bodysuit in light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with a secure snap crotch, ribbed binding, and side seams for durability. Solids are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Don Tristán de Luna planted a colony on Pensacola Bay in August 1559, six years before St. Augustine, the first European settlement in what is now the continental United States; a hurricane destroyed it in 1561 and Spain returned for good in 1698. Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American flags have all flown here: the City of Five Flags.

Naval Air Station Pensacola trained the first naval aviators from 1914 and remains the cradle of naval aviation; the 1859 lighthouse, Fort Pickens and Fort Barrancas still guard the deepest bay on the Gulf Coast, and Seville Square keeps the colonial downtown. Sugar-white sand on Santa Rosa Island 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.

America's first settlement, and the cradle of Navy wings. The Spanish planted a colony on Pensacola Bay in 1559 — six years before St. Augustine — and though a hurricane swept it away, the flags kept coming: five of them, Spanish to French to British to Confederate to American, flown over one stubborn Gulf-coast city. Today Navy jets carve the sky over sugar-white sand, U.S. naval aviators have earned their wings here since 1914, and the bay itself has begun giving up its secrets — two lost fleets, four and a half centuries of story, resting under one sheet of water. This page tells the story.

A hurricane on September 19, 1559 — five weeks after the landing — sank much of Luna's fleet with its supplies; the colony was abandoned in 1561, and Spain returned for good in 1698.

Why People Visit Pensacola Florida

  • Tour the National Naval Aviation Museum and the historic aircraft of the Cradle of Naval Aviation.
  • Explore Fort Pickens and Gulf Islands National Seashore on Santa Rosa Island — the campground inside the park puts you steps from the ramparts and the Gulf.
  • Climb the 1859 Pensacola Lighthouse for views over the bay and the Gulf.
  • Walk Palafox Street, Plaza Ferdinand, and Historic Pensacola Village in the colonial downtown, where the museums of the old town tell the Luna story and display artifacts from the settlement and the Emanuel Point wrecks.
  • Wander the Seville Square Historic District, then the Belmont-DeVilliers neighborhood, the historic heart of the city's Black business and music culture.
  • Spend a day on the sugar-white sand of Pensacola Beach — Casino Beach and the boardwalk on the Gulf side, Quietwater Beach on the sound side — and walk out the Pensacola Beach pier at sunset.
  • Cross to Perdido Key and Johnson Beach for the quieter, wilder stretch of the national seashore.
  • Visit Fort Barrancas on the bluff and the Advanced Redoubt, the bay's other historic defenses.
  • Snap a photo at the Graffiti Bridge on 17th Avenue, the city's ever-changing folk-art landmark.
  • Ride the bay ferry between downtown, the beach, and Fort Pickens in season, and watch for dolphins in the pass.
