The Santa Monica women’s fitted tee, for the town that is where Route 66 meets the Pacific. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Santa Monica vintage retro logo on the chest in white, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Santa Monica shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey in a slim, contoured women’s fit with a longer body length and a classic crewneck. Side-seamed, with a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual, so consider sizing up. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

Santa Monica also helped teach the world to fly. In 1921 Donald Douglas founded Douglas Aircraft here, building planes in a converted movie studio; in 1924 the U.S. Army's Douglas World Cruisers lifted off from Clover Field — today's Santa Monica Airport — and returned 175 days later as the first flight around the world. The company grew into one of the giants of American aviation, and for a generation the DC-series airliners that shrank the planet were born a mile from the beach.

The waterfront made the city famous. A string of amusement piers rose along the bay in the resort decades, and of them all, the 1909 Santa Monica Pier is the one that survived — the municipal pier and its pleasure-pier twin, carrying the 1916 Looff Hippodrome, a National Historic Landmark whose hand-carved carousel horses still circle under the old dome. Pacific Park's rides came later; the wooden deck, the anglers at the rail, and the long walk over the water are the originals.

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.
