Gulf Coast Tees Is Open for Business — Here's What We're All About

We’re live, and the coast just got a lot cooler.

After months of preparation, creative planning, and hands-on production, Gulf Coast Tees is officially open. We’re based in Cape Coral, Florida, and we specialize in original, beach-inspired apparel that captures the laid-back spirit of life along the Gulf Coast.

Whether you’re a proud local, a frequent visitor, or just love the Florida lifestyle, Gulf Coast Tees was made for you.

About the Brand

Gulf Coast Tees creates graphic tees, hand-dyed tie-dye shirts, and custom apparel that celebrate the beauty, culture, and character of Southwest Florida. Every product is produced locally using quality materials and thoughtful design. Our shirts are more than souvenirs, they’re statements of pride.

We also offer custom screen printing and vinyl heat transfers for local businesses, organizations, and events. If you need shirts with personality and purpose, we’re ready to help.

Our Mission

We believe apparel can do more than look good. It can make a difference. That’s why Gulf Coast Tees is committed to giving back to the place we love. A portion of every sale supports coastal cleanup efforts and environmental projects across the region.

Our mascot, Swoop the Pelican, is a symbol of that mission. With a trash grabber in one hand and a screen-printing squeegee in the other, he reminds us that creativity and community go hand in hand. More on Swoop's story to come!
