The Miami Beach cap, for the town that is pastel Art Deco and candy-colored towers on the sand. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Miami Beach vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Miami Beach piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Our unisex embroidered dad cap pairs a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel fit with a Permacurv visor and durable four-row visor stitching. Made from breathable cotton with a matching undervisor and a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle. All colors are 100% cotton (camo: 65% polyester / 35% cotton). The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired; because embroidery uses thread rather than ink, slight differences from the digital product image are normal. Full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Miami Beach was dredged out of mangrove sandbar by Carl Fisher, John Collins and the Lummus brothers; the Collins Bridge of 1913 was then the longest wooden bridge in the world, and the town incorporated on March 26, 1915. Fisher sold it with a billboard that read It’s Always June and an elephant named Rosie.

The hotel boom of the 1930s and 40s left about eight hundred Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and MiMo buildings along Ocean Drive, Collins and Washington, the world’s largest concentration, and the lifeguard towers on the sand became its postcard. A barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, South Beach is the mark on this piece.

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.

Our Miami Beach logo carries the Florida alligator over “Florida Territory · Est. 1845,” the year Florida became a state — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Florida town. Printed in clean retro black-and-white that reads like an old crate label, the alligator stands for Florida as a whole; what makes this one Miami Beach is everything behind it — the Art Deco strip and its neon, the candy-colored lifeguard towers, the man-made island, and the winter playground where the sand meets South Beach.

Here’s the strange part: almost none of this was supposed to exist. A century ago Miami Beach was a barrier island of mangrove swamp and sand, good for coconuts and not much else. Then a New Jersey farmer named John Collins planted avocado groves and dredged a canal to ship them, and an Indianapolis millionaire named Carl Fisher — the man behind the Indy 500 and the first bright automobile headlights — looked at the tangle of mangroves and saw a resort. Fisher cut down the jungle, dredged up the bay bottom, and literally built the island into shape. The city they incorporated in 1915 was, in large part, made by hand.

Why People Visit Miami Beach

Miami Beach rewards visitors who want style with their sand: the world’s great Art Deco strip, a wide Atlantic beach, walkable streets, and neon nights. Add the South Beach glow and the year-round Florida sun, and the man-made island makes an easy case for itself.
