This is our retro Austin, Texas logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

More From Austin Texas

All Austin Texas Items

In 1845 Texas left the republic behind and joined the Union as the Lone Star State, and Austin stayed its capital. The Texas State Capitol that crowns Congress Avenue was completed in 1888, built of "sunset red" Texas granite and rising taller than the United States Capitol in Washington — the signature landmark of the capital city. Around it the original 1839 town has grown into a metropolis, but the river, the springs, and the Hill Country still set the city's rhythm.

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.

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.
