The Tampa hoodie, for the town that is Cigar City. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Tampa 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 Tampa 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 Tampa, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

A medium-heavy fleece pullover hoodie built for warmth that lasts. The regular, true-to-size adult fit comes with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching where it counts, plus a tear-away label. 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather shades may be cotton–poly 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 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.

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.

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.
