Sarasota Sweatshirts

Sarasota sweatshirts sell in local gift shops and online. Print quality varies widely.

Where to buy

The Sarasota Style is at 410 St. Armands Circle. It sells its own logo sweatshirts and ships across the US.

Siesta Key Village gift shops also sell local apparel.

Professional insight

Souvenir buyers check the blank sweatshirt brand and print method. A good print on a thin blank still disappoints.

  • Embroidery outlasts screen prints in the wash.
  • Heavier fleece weight means a warmer, longer lasting sweatshirt.
  • Print on demand listings may ship from far away.
  • Check whether the design says Sarasota, Siesta Key or Lido.

Types

Crewneck

Classic souvenir style. Often has a city or key name across the chest.

Hoodie

Warmer for cool evenings on the beach. Check the hood lining.

Quarter zip

Dressier look. Often embroidered with a small logo.

Lightweight or bamboo blend

Better for Florida winters, which stay mild.

Sizing

Many souvenir sweatshirts are unisex. Women may size down one. Measure a favorite sweatshirt flat and compare to the chart.

Care

  • Turn the sweatshirt inside out and wash cold.
  • Skip bleach on printed designs.
  • Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
  • Do not iron directly on the print.
