The Carrollton cap, for the town that grew up where the Katy crossed the Cotton Belt. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Carrollton vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Carrollton 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.

Pioneers from Carrollton, Illinois, settled this Peters’ Colony land in the early 1840s and gave the town its name; the post office came in 1878 when the railroad reached Trinity Mills, and the Cotton Belt crossed the Katy here in 1888, making Carrollton the shipping center of the area. It incorporated in 1913.

The concrete grain-elevator silos that ring the Downtown Square are the landmark of that cotton-and-grain era, beside the old depot and switchyard, and the city now spans Dallas, Denton and Collin counties with one of North Texas’s largest Korean-American communities. The rail crossing 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.

More From Carrollton Texas

All Carrollton Texas Items

So Carrollton gathers an Illinois name, a railroad crossing, and a ring of grain silos onto the Blackland Prairie north of Dallas. Our Carrollton designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Where the rails crossed — Carrollton, Texas.

Carrollton incorporated as a city in 1913, with W.F. Vinson as its first mayor, and for decades stayed a small farming-and-rail town — a working cattle ranch survived inside the city limits as late as 1983. Then the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex grew out to meet it. The Sun Belt boom of the 1950s through the 1980s filled the prairie with neighborhoods, and Carrollton became the three-county suburb it is now, spread across Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties northwest of downtown Dallas. The DART Green Line and Trinity Mills Station arrived in 2010, tying the old rail town back into the region's rails — carrying passengers this time, not cotton.

Why People Visit Carrollton

Visitors come to Carrollton for the old railroad town inside the modern suburb — the Square, the silos, and the Switchyard — and stay for the food, the parks, and the easy reach of the whole Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is equal parts Texas heritage and present-day diversity, with vintage storefronts on one block and Korean bakeries on the next. Welcoming and well-connected, Carrollton rewards anyone curious about how a North Texas farm town became a three-county suburb without losing its center.
