The Santa Monica hoodie, for the town that is where Route 66 meets the Pacific. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Our unisex hoodie is cut from medium-heavy fleece in a regular fit that runs true to size for adults. Details include a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, double-needle stitching at key seams, and a tear-away label. The fabric is 80% combed ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester, with heather colors in cotton–poly 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.

Who makes this?

More From Santa Monica California

All Santa Monica California Items

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.

The twentieth century layered on the rest: the 1920s "Gold Coast" of beach mansions brought the first Hollywood money to the sand; the palm-lined bluffs of Palisades Park became the city's grand balcony; the Third Street Promenade turned downtown into one of America's great walking streets; and the farmers market grew into a Wednesday institution that feeds half the restaurant kitchens in Los Angeles. Through it all the pier kept its promise — and in 1998 the Ferris wheel went solar, the first of its kind, so the wheel over the Pacific now runs on the same sunshine that built the town.

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.
