The West Palm Beach baby bodysuit, for the town that is Flagler’s city on the Intracoastal. Soft fine jersey with the West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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.

Henry Flagler platted West Palm Beach in 1893 as the working town for his Palm Beach resort, the railway reached it on April 2, 1894, and it incorporated on November 5 that year, the oldest municipality in South Florida and older than Miami. It became a city in 1903 and the county seat in 1909.

Clematis Street and the plant-named grid are the historic core, the 1920s land boom left the red-tile Mediterranean Revival neighborhoods of El Cid, Flamingo Park and Old Northwood, and the waterfront faces Palm Beach across the Lake Worth Lagoon. The railroad came south and the palms never quit; that 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.

What’s with Flagler? Nearly everything in West Palm Beach traces back to one man. Henry Flagler — Standard Oil partner, railroad magnate — came down the Florida coast in the 1890s laying his Florida East Coast Railway, and decided the barrier island across the lagoon would make a glittering winter resort for wealthy Northerners. But a resort needs a workforce, a depot, a downtown. So in 1893 Flagler laid out a working town on the mainland to serve the island, paid two settlers $45,000 for the site, ran his rails in, and named it for exactly where it sat: West Palm Beach. The city has been Flagler’s ever since.

Here is the thing the name keeps half-hidden: West Palm Beach is the city; Palm Beach is the island. Across the Intracoastal sit the Gilded-Age hotels Flagler built — the Royal Poinciana, The Breakers — and the mansions of the very rich. West Palm Beach was the other side of that economy: the depot and the storefronts, the carpenters and railroad men, the place where the work got done and the workers lived. That split still defines the city. It is the down-to-earth, culturally rich mainland — the one with the downtown, the museums, and the nightlife — looking across the water at the glamour it helped build and supply.

Why People Visit West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach rewards visitors who want culture with their coastline: a serious arts scene, a lively downtown, historic neighborhoods under the palms, and the Intracoastal at the center of it all. Add the island just across the water and the year-round South Florida sun, and Flagler’s mainland city makes an easy case for itself.
