The Tallahassee baby bodysuit, for the town that is the capital under the canopy oaks. Soft fine jersey with the Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee 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.

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.

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.

All Tallahassee Florida Items

Our Tallahassee logo carries Florida's alligator above ‘Florida Territory — Est. 1845,’ the shared retro emblem of our Florida towns; the gator is the state's wild icon, and 1845 marks the year Florida joined the Union. Rendered in the black-and-white of an old crate stamp, it ties Tallahassee to every other Florida town we make. What makes this one the capital is the setting behind it — the canopy oaks, the candy-striped dome, and the Red Hills rolling away to the north.

The name means something close to ‘old town’ or ‘old fields’ in the Creek tongue, and it was old long before it was a capital. Tallahassee was chosen in 1824 as the seat of territorial Florida for a plain reason of geography: it sat roughly halfway between St. Augustine and Pensacola, the two old colonial capitals of East and West Florida that the United States had just joined together under the 1819 treaty with Spain. Surveyors laid out a grid in the Red Hills, the town incorporated in 1825, and a frontier capital took root in the Leon County woods.

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.
