The Gainesville tank, for the town that lets the prairie run wild. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Gainesville vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Gainesville 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.

Gainesville was chosen as the Alachua County seat at a picnic at Boulware Springs in 1853, laid out on Black Oak Ridge in 1854 and named for General Edmund Gaines of the Second Seminole War. The Florida Railroad reached it in 1859, and the East Florida Seminary, forerunner of the university, moved here in 1866.

Paynes Prairie, Florida’s first state preserve since 1971, is 23,000 acres of wild bison, free-roaming horses and alligators an hour from a research lab, and the Devil’s Millhopper sinkhole drops 120 feet into its own rainforest. The 1911 Hippodrome and the Duckpond’s live oaks anchor downtown. Real Florida 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 Gainesville Florida Items

People read this land the same way for thousands of years. The Potano lived and farmed here; the word Alachua likely comes from their word for the great sink — "jug." By the late 1600s the Spanish ran La Chua, the largest cattle ranch in Spanish Florida, on the prairie's rim, and in the 1770s the Seminole leader Ahaya the Cowkeeper grazed thousands of head on the savanna that would later take the name of King Payne. Bartram walked it in 1774 and filled his Travels with it. The American settlement that followed grew up nearby as Hogtown, a trading-post village on the creek that still carries the name through the middle of the city.

A county seat picked at a springside picnic, a prairie that turned into a lake and back, a college town where bison graze twenty minutes from the lecture hall — Gainesville's story is Florida's interior at its wildest and warmest. From the La Chua Trail to the Duckpond's live oaks, wear a little of Gainesville's real Florida wherever the road takes you.

Why People Visit Gainesville Florida

Gainesville blends wild Florida and a working college town. Visitors come for the prairie and the springs, the sinkhole country, the historic district's porches and oaks, and a downtown anchored by the Hippodrome's marquee. It is shaded, walkable, and rooted in place — North-Central Florida at its most genuine, with the real Florida outside the city limits and a century of college-town culture inside them.
