The Tallahassee tank, for the town that is the capital under the canopy oaks. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Tallahassee vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Tallahassee piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

A retail-fit unisex tank in lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Side seams and self-fabric binding help it hold its shape, the label tears away, and it runs true to size for adults. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather and prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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. 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.

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.

So Tallahassee gathers more history under its oaks than almost anywhere in Florida: an Apalachee old town, a Spanish mission rebuilt on its hill, a candy-striped capitol, and nine roads roofed in moss. Our Tallahassee designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. This is the capital under the canopy oaks.

The Spanish came back not with armies but with friars. Through the 1600s a chain of Franciscan missions ran across Apalachee country, and the largest, Mission San Luis, served from the 1650s as the western capital of Spanish Florida — a fortified hilltop town of Spanish colonists and Apalachee Christians, a council house and a church side by side. It was abandoned and burned around 1704 amid English-led raids from the north. Today San Luis is the only reconstructed Spanish mission in Florida, rebuilt on its original ground as a living-history site — the deepest layer of the city, walkable again.

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.
