Collection: Project Mercury: The Collection

The Project Mercury Collection honors the first era of American human spaceflight—the bold program that proved we could launch, orbit, and return safely to Earth. Designed on Florida’s Space Coast, these Hawaiian shirts celebrate the rockets, capsules, and courageous pioneers who made space history possible.

Featuring artwork of the Mercury-Atlas, Mercury-Redstone, and the Mercury Capsule with its Launch Escape System (LES), each design captures the technological ingenuity that carried America’s earliest astronauts skyward. From the first suborbital leaps to the orbital triumphs of John Glenn’s Friendship 7, the collection pays tribute to the machinery and spirit that ignited the Space Age.

Every shirt in this series—from the Project Mercury to HAM the Space Chimp—blends aerospace heritage with tropical craftsmanship. This is where Florida’s beaches meet its launch pads, where engineering blueprints meet mid-century design, and where adventure began.
