The Pensacola tank, for the town that is America’s first settlement. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Pensacola vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Pensacola 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.

Built to hold its shape: a lightweight unisex tank in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey with side seams and self-fabric binding. Retail fit, true to size for adults, tear-away label. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Don Tristán de Luna planted a colony on Pensacola Bay in August 1559, six years before St. Augustine, the first European settlement in what is now the continental United States; a hurricane destroyed it in 1561 and Spain returned for good in 1698. Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American flags have all flown here: the City of Five Flags.

Naval Air Station Pensacola trained the first naval aviators from 1914 and remains the cradle of naval aviation; the 1859 lighthouse, Fort Pickens and Fort Barrancas still guard the deepest bay on the Gulf Coast, and Seville Square keeps the colonial downtown. Sugar-white sand on Santa Rosa Island 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.

America's first settlement, and the cradle of Navy wings. The Spanish planted a colony on Pensacola Bay in 1559 — six years before St. Augustine — and though a hurricane swept it away, the flags kept coming: five of them, Spanish to French to British to Confederate to American, flown over one stubborn Gulf-coast city. Today Navy jets carve the sky over sugar-white sand, U.S. naval aviators have earned their wings here since 1914, and the bay itself has begun giving up its secrets — two lost fleets, four and a half centuries of story, resting under one sheet of water. This page tells the story.

Pensacola wears all of it at once: the Spanish-colonial bones of the old town, the forts that guarded one of the deepest natural harbors on the Gulf — Fort Pickens out on Santa Rosa Island, Fort Barrancas on the bluff — the 1859 lighthouse, and the Navy town that grew up around the air station. It's a Gulf-coast beach city and a heritage city in the same breath: sugar-white quartz sand and emerald water on one side, four and a half centuries of layered history on the other — and now the archaeology to prove it, coming up from the bay a few artifacts at a time. Few American cities can claim a deeper or stranger past, and fewer still can claim to have invented an entire branch of flight.

Why People Visit Pensacola Florida

People come to Pensacola for both halves of it — the beaches and the history. Sugar-white sand and emerald water on the barrier islands, and four and a half centuries of layered story in the old town and the forts, with the naval-aviation heritage overhead and America's oldest settlement story underfoot. It's a Gulf-coast vacation and an American history lesson in one welcoming city.
