The Corpus Christi tank, for the town that is the Sparkling City by the Sea. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Corpus Christi vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Corpus Christi 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.

This unisex jersey tank is made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit, side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. It runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Spanish explorers named the bay for the feast of Corpus Christi in 1519; Henry Kinney’s trading post of 1839 became the Nueces County seat in 1846 and a city in 1852, after Zachary Taylor’s army staged here for the Mexican-American War. The deep-water port opened in 1926 and oil followed in 1930.

The carrier USS Lexington, the Blue Ghost of the Second World War, has ridden at anchor on the bayfront as a museum since 1992, and Padre Island National Seashore runs about seventy miles down the Gulf, the longest undeveloped barrier-island beach in the country. The Sparkling City by the Sea 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.

All Corpus Christi Texas Items

The Navy arrived in 1941, and naval aviation training has shaped the city ever since — which made it fitting that the Blue Ghost chose Corpus Christi for her retirement. The bayfront grew around her: the Texas State Aquarium next door, the arched Harbor Bridge of 1959 rising over the ship channel, the eight Moorish-styled miradores gazebos strung along the seawall. Downtown, the 1940 Spanish-Colonial cathedral holds the city's oldest name over its doors.

The young port town grew on wool, cattle, and the railroad through the 1870s, then learned the Gulf's temper: the 1919 hurricane devastated the low-lying city and pushed it to build the great seawall, its stepped promenade designed by sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Protection changed everything. The deepwater port opened in 1926, oil was struck in Nueces County in 1930, and the harbor filled with tankers and grain ships. A century on, the Port of Corpus Christi moves more than two hundred million tons a year — the third-largest U.S. port by total tonnage and a leading gateway for American energy exports.

Why People Visit Corpus Christi Texas

Corpus Christi draws people who love the water, the wind, and a deep streak of history on the same coast. It is the Sparkling City by the Sea — home of a WWII carrier you can walk, the longest wild beach in America, a leading Gulf-coast port, and a proud Tejano-cultural heart. Visitors come for the rare combination: a working bayfront, barrier-island shore, the steady Gulf wind that made the bay a windsurfing capital, and the Blue Ghost riding at anchor over it all.
