The Santa Monica tank, for the town that is where Route 66 meets the Pacific. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Santa Monica vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Santa Monica 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.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Senator John P. Jones of Nevada and Colonel Robert S. Baker founded Santa Monica on July 10, 1875, as a seaside resort, donated Palisades Park on the bluff the same year, and the city incorporated on November 30, 1886. A mile-long wharf served as Los Angeles’s port from 1893 to 1903, and the Pier opened in 1909, the last of the bay’s amusement piers.

Route 66 runs 2,448 miles from Chicago and stops at that wooden pier, where the Ferris wheel runs on sunlight and the 1922 Looff Hippodrome houses the carousel; Douglas Aircraft was founded here in 1921 and the first round-the-world flight set out from Clover Field in 1924. Three and a half miles of beach and the bluffs are 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.

More From Santa Monica California

All Santa Monica California Items

Long before the road or the pier, this stretch of coast was home to the Tongva — the Gabrielino people — who lived along Santa Monica Bay for centuries, fishing its waters and trading along the shore. A Spanish expedition under Portolá camped nearby in 1769 and left the name of a saint on the place; through the Mexican era the land lay in ranchos, and Tongva Park downtown now carries the first people's name at the center of the city.

Our Santa Monica logo carries the California Republic bear and star above "Est. 1850," the year of statehood — the shared retro emblem of our California places, drawn in a worn black-and-white that recalls a WPA poster or an old pier ticket. The bear links Santa Monica to every other California town we make; what makes this one Santa Monica is everything around it — the road's end, the wheel, the carousel, and the beach that stands for all beaches.

Why People Visit Santa Monica

Santa Monica rewards visitors with a rare mix — a historic amusement pier, the western end of Route 66, miles of state beach, and one of America's great walking downtowns, all on a bright Pacific bay. People come for the pier and the End of the Trail, and stay for the sunsets off the bluffs and the easy, salt-aired grace of California's beach city.
