The San Diego fleece, for the town that is where California began. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the San Diego vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the San Diego range: a real Columbia blank, embroidered to order, warm, light and fast-drying. It is the jacket for early mornings, the sideline and the drive home, and the San Diego gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

This premium fleece jacket is custom embroidered to order on an authentic Columbia fleece jacket blank. Featuring Columbia’s soft, warm MTR fleece, this jacket combines trusted outdoor quality with personalized design. A warm, lightweight full-zip made from soft MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) with an athletic, easy-layering fit, and our vintage-retro logo cleanly embroidered on the chest. It delivers dependable insulation for cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. Classic details include a stand collar and clean lines that pair with everything. Care: Machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process.

Cabrillo claimed the bay for Spain in 1542, and on July 16, 1769, Mission San Diego de Alcalá and the Presidio were founded, the first of the twenty-one missions and the first European settlement on the West Coast of the present United States. The American city incorporated in 1850 and Alonzo Horton laid out the modern downtown in 1867.

The 1915 Panama-California Exposition built Balboa Park’s Spanish Colonial Revival core, 1,200 acres and the largest urban cultural park in the nation; the Hotel del Coronado has stood on the Silver Strand since 1888, and the Navy fills one of the great natural harbors. Seventy degrees year-round on a bay that has been America’s harbor since 1769 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.

More From San Diego California

All San Diego California Items

The Kumeyaay (Tipai-Ipai) people lived on San Diego Bay and its mesas for thousands of years before European contact, and remain part of the region today.

European San Diego dates to the summer of 1769, when Spanish expeditions established the Presidio of San Diego and Mission San Diego de Alcalá — the first of the twenty-one California missions and the first European settlement on the West Coast of the present-day United States. It is the event that earned the city its enduring nickname, the 'Birthplace of California.' The mission era is also a difficult history: in 1775 the Kumeyaay rose against the mission in an act of resistance against a system imposed on their land and their lives. San Diego holds both truths at once — the founding that opened California to the wider world, and the people whose home it already was.

Why People Visit San Diego

San Diego rewards visitors with a rare mix: deep early-California history, a working Navy harbor, great parks, and miles of Pacific coast under a famously mild sky. People come for Balboa Park and the bay, the beaches and Point Loma sunsets, and the story of the city where California began — historic, easygoing, unmistakably Californian.
