The Austin baby bodysuit, for the town that is the capital of the Lone Star State. Soft fine jersey with the Austin vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Austin piece most often bought for someone else.

This unisex baby bodysuit is made from soft, breathable fine jersey at a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²). A secure snap crotch makes changes easy, and ribbed binding with side seams adds durability. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heathers include a cotton–polyester blend.

The village of Waterloo on the Colorado River was chosen as capital of the Republic of Texas in 1839, renamed for Stephen F. Austin and incorporated on December 27 of that year. The Archive War of 1842–45 kept the capital here, statehood passed through in 1846, and the 1840 French Legation is the oldest documented wooden building in the city.

The 1888 Capitol’s sunset-red granite dome stands taller than the one in Washington, Congress Avenue runs the original grid, Barton Springs feeds the limestone Hill Country, and the bats fly at dusk. The capital of the Lone Star State 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?

More From Austin Texas

All Austin Texas Items

Our Austin logo carries the Texas longhorn and the Lone Star over "Texas Republic · Est. 1845" — 1845 the year Texas joined the Union as the Lone Star State. The longhorn's sweeping horns stand for Texas frontier grit, and the single star for the independence that gave the Lone Star State its name. Printed in a distressed black-and-white that reads like old stockyard and state-fair signage, it's the Lone Star in shorthand. What makes this one Austin is the country behind it — the capital on the Colorado, the Hill Country springs, and the city of the violet crown.

Comanche and Tonkawa peoples lived across this stretch of Central Texas long before any town. In the late 1830s a small settlement on the Colorado River called Waterloo caught the eye of the young Republic of Texas, and in 1839 it was renamed Austin — for Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas" — and chosen as the capital of the independent republic. Surveyors laid a grid above the river, its streets named for Texas rivers and trees, and a frontier village became the seat of a nation.

Why People Visit Austin

Austin balances Texas-capital history with easygoing Hill Country life — spring-fed swimming, river trails, big landmarks, and a deep live-music heritage. It's a relaxed, walkable base for Central Texas and the Hill Country.
