The Tallahassee cap, for the town that is the capital under the canopy oaks. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Tallahassee vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Tallahassee 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.

Hernando de Soto wintered at the Apalachee town of Anhaica in 1539 and kept the first Christmas in North America there; Mission San Luis served as the Spanish provincial capital from 1633 to 1704. Tallahassee was chosen as Florida’s capital in 1824 as the midpoint between St. Augustine and Pensacola, and the name is Muskogean for old fields.

The porticoed Old Capitol was finished in 1845 with statehood and wears its candy-striped awnings still; the Battle of Natural Bridge in 1865 kept it the only uncaptured Confederate capital east of the Mississippi. Five canopy roads tunnel through live oaks and Spanish moss in the Red Hills. The capital under the oaks 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.

The nineteenth century also wrote a harder chapter here, one the canopy roads themselves remember. Those high red-clay lanes were cut to haul Sea Island cotton from the Red Hills plantations down to the Gulf ports — a cotton economy built on the labor of enslaved people. That history is part of Tallahassee, and it is not glossed over: on May 20, 1865, General Edward McCook read the Emancipation Proclamation from the steps of the Knott House downtown, and the day is still marked every year as Emancipation Day. The same shaded streets carry both stories.

The capital itself grew slowly into stone. The Old Capitol rose in the years around Florida's 1845 statehood, and over time gained its grand portico, its red-and-white striped awnings, and the 1902 dome that still marks the skyline; saved from the wrecking ball in 1978, it is now the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, standing in front of the plain 22-story New Capitol tower finished in 1977. The pairing — candy-striped Victorian dome against a modern slab — is the whole arc of the place in one view. And all of it sits in the Red Hills, the rolling, hardwood-covered ‘first high land’ that makes Tallahassee feel more like south Georgia than the Florida of the postcards.

Why People Visit Tallahassee

Tallahassee blends civic history with surprising green space. Visitors mix the capitol buildings and downtown museums with canopy-road drives, gardens, and easy urban trails. It is scholarly, calm, and quietly scenic, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. This is Old Florida and the modern capital at once — history and everyday culture sitting side by side under the oaks in a welcoming way.
