The Naples tank, for the town that built a pier the hurricanes could never keep down. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Naples vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Naples 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.

Unisex jersey tank made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding help it hold shape, with a tear-away label, and 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.

In the autumn of 1886 Louisville newspaper publisher Walter Haldeman and General John Stuart Williams bought 3,712 acres between the Gulf and Naples Bay for $11,136, named the town for Naples, Italy, and sold it as the Bay of Naples of America. The pier went up in 1888 and the post office sat on it the following year.

Hurricanes took the pier in 1910, 1926, 1944 and 1960 and the town rebuilt it every time. The 1895 Palm Cottage is the oldest house in Naples, the Orange Blossom Special first rolled into the depot on January 7, 1927, and the Tamiami Trail of 1928 tied the town to Miami and Tampa. The pier at sunset is the mark on this piece.

Before the golf courses and the galleries, there was a newspaperman and a pier. In 1886 a Louisville newspaper publisher bought 3,712 acres of Gulf-edge wilderness, named it after a bay in Italy, and sold it to Northern families as paradise. In 1888 he built a pier into the Gulf of Mexico — a dock that storms have taken down and the town has rebuilt time and again. That's the Old-Florida story underneath the Paradise Coast: the winter colony, the pier, the swamp buggy, and Fifth Avenue South — and this page tells it.

A few landmarks carry the early colony into the present. Historic Palm Cottage, built in 1895 of tabby mortar — a mix of lime, crushed shell, and beach sand — is the oldest house in Naples and today the home of the Naples Historical Society. Out past the edge of town, the gladesman country gave Naples its other identity: the Swamp Buggy Races, first run formally on November 12, 1949, when home-built marsh machines tore through the mud at the start of a tradition that still runs today. And after mid-century growth nearly buried the old main street, the 1990s brought a celebrated revival of Fifth Avenue South — a redesign that turned the historic town-to-pier street into one of the country's most admired walkable downtowns.
