The Arlington cap, for the town that is the American Dream City. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Arlington vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Arlington piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

Unisex embroidered dad cap with an unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit and a Permacurv visor. Made from breathable cotton with a self-fabric hideaway strap and antique-brass buckle, plus a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Classic embroidered finish — durable and vintage-inspired. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details explained in our Embroidery footer.

Arlington was laid out on the Texas & Pacific Railway in 1876, near the 1841 Bird’s Fort and the 1843 treaty signed there, named for a Virginia estate and incorporated on April 21, 1884. A downtown mineral well flowed from 1892 to 1951, and the Top O’ Hill Terrace casino ran in secret until the Rangers raided it in 1947.

Six Flags Over Texas opened here in 1961, the original of the chain, and Tom Vandergriff grew a market town of 8,000 into the entertainment capital of the metroplex, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth on Lake Arlington. The American Dream 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.

More From Arlington Texas

All Arlington Texas Items

Our Arlington logo carries the Texas longhorn and a lone star above "Texas Republic — Est. 1845," the shared retro emblem of our Texas towns, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old woodcut crate label. The 1845 date marks Texas statehood, and the longhorn is the through-line that links Arlington to every other Texas town we make. The detail that makes this one Arlington is the American Dream City itself — the railway market town, the old mineral well, the Vegas-before-Vegas hill, and the entertainment capital it grew into between Dallas and Fort Worth.

The blackland prairie here was Caddo country long before the town. In 1841, in the Republic of Texas years, frontiersmen built Bird's Fort near present-day Arlington, and the Bird's Fort Treaty was signed in the area in 1843 — a frontier accord between the young republic and Native nations on land that had been inhabited for centuries. Settlement followed slowly, with scattered farms and the small community of Johnson Station out on the Cross Timbers.

Why People Visit Arlington

Arlington rewards travelers who want big-event energy with Texas convenience — the stadiums and theme parks of the Entertainment District, set between Dallas and Fort Worth and easy to reach from either. People come for the games, the coasters, and the concerts, and stay for the river-and-lake parks and the offbeat heritage of a prairie town that talked itself into becoming the American Dream City.
