The Monterey hoodie, for the town that was California’s first capital. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Monterey vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Monterey piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Monterey, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Unisex pullover hoodie made from a medium-heavy fleece for warmth and durability. Regular fit with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching at key seams; tear-away label. Runs true to size for adults. Fabric is 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather colors may use cotton–poly blends.

Portolá and Father Serra founded the Presidio and mission on June 3, 1770; Monterey was named capital of Alta California in 1777 and governed it, Spanish and then Mexican, until the American flag went up in 1846. The 1794 Royal Presidio Chapel is the oldest building in the city, and in 1849 the state’s first constitutional convention met at Colton Hall.

The Path of History threads the adobes, the Custom House is California’s oldest government building, and the sardine canneries that opened around 1900 became Cannery Row, on a bay whose submarine canyon makes it one of the richest marine habitats anywhere, with Point Lobos just south. The Adobe Capital of California 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?

More From Monterey California

All Monterey California Items

And one export carries the city's name into every grocery store in America: Monterey Jack. The mild cheese descends from the queso del país made on the Mexican-era ranchos, and it took its name from David Jacks, the Scottish-born land baron who came to control much of the peninsula — he acquired the town's own pueblo lands at a courthouse auction Monterey never forgave — and began shipping the local cheese under his name in the 1880s. The city's registry of firsts lists California's first marketed cheese at Monterey in 1859, and Jacks Peak, the highest point on the peninsula, still carries the family name. The cheese outlived the grudge.

From the room where California wrote its constitution to the canneries that fed the bay, Monterey is the original California — adobe walls, cannery tin, and the deep blue water that ran through all of it. Our Monterey designs gather that layered history into wearable form. From California's first capital to the Sardine Capital of the World: wear a little of Monterey's original-California history.

Why People Visit Monterey

Monterey rewards visitors who want the original California — the first capital, a town of 18th-century adobes, and a deep, wild bay. People come for the Path of History and Cannery Row, for Point Lobos and the marine sanctuary, and for an easy, scenic stretch of Central Coast where Spanish-colonial heritage and a famous waterfront sit side by side.
