The Tampa tank, for the town that is Cigar City. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Tampa vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Tampa 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.

A retail-fit unisex tank in lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Side seams and self-fabric binding help it hold its shape, the label tears away, and it runs true to size for adults. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather and prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Fort Brooke went up at the mouth of the Hillsborough River in 1824 and the town incorporated in 1855. Ybor City was founded in 1885, and its 1886 Ybor Factory was the largest cigar factory in the world; by the early 1900s the tabaqueros of Ybor were hand-rolling more cigars than Havana.

Henry Plant’s silver-minareted Tampa Bay Hotel opened in 1891, the first Gasparilla pirate invasion came ashore in 1904, and on January 1, 1914, the first scheduled commercial airline flight in the world landed here from St. Petersburg. Bayshore Boulevard runs one of the longest continuous sidewalks anywhere. Cigar City 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.

More From Tampa Florida

All Tampa Florida Items

Tampa is Cigar City — a Fort Brooke frontier post that immigrant tabaqueros turned into the cigar capital of the world, crowned with silver minarets and guarded, once a year, by pirates. Our Tampa designs gather that into wearable form. Wear Cigar City. Cigar City. Rolled by hand since 1885.

Tampa learned early how to throw a party and chase the future at once. The first Gasparilla festival sailed into the bay in 1904, a civic carnival built around the legend of the pirate Jose Gaspar that still fills the streets every January. A decade later, on the first day of 1914, the aviator Tony Jannus flew the world's first scheduled commercial airline flight across the bay from St. Petersburg to Tampa — the beginning of an entire industry, launched over Tampa's water.

Why People Visit Tampa

Tampa draws travelers who want real heritage with Gulf sunshine — the brick-and-cigar history of Ybor's Latin Quarter, the fairy-tale minarets of Plant's hotel, the bay and the Riverwalk, and a pirate festival unlike anywhere else. It is a city that wears its immigrant, working-waterfront story openly, an easy gateway to the Gulf beaches just across the bay.
