The Dallas cap, for the town that flies a red Pegasus over its skyline. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Dallas vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Dallas 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.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Dallas began in 1841 as John Neely Bryan’s trading post at the best ford on the Trinity River, on the near-treeless Blackland Prairie of North Texas, with no harbor and no obvious reason to grow. Surveyed in 1844, named county seat in 1846 and chartered in 1856, it willed itself into a city when the railroads arrived in 1872–73 and cotton, banking and commerce followed.

The twentieth century gave the city its icons: Neiman Marcus in 1907, the State Fair at Fair Park from 1886 and the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition that left the world’s largest collection of Art Deco exposition buildings, the neon Pegasus over the 1922 Magnolia Building in 1934, and Reunion Tower’s lit-up ball in 1978. That mix of frontier ford and glittering skyline is the Big D confidence the mark on this piece is drawn from.

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.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

Today Dallas is skyline and prairie light, museums and neon, a flying red horse over a downtown that never stops building. Our Dallas designs gather that identity — the longhorn emblem, Big D confidence, the Pegasus and the skyline — into wearable form. It is a Texas city that made itself out of almost nothing and has been proud of it ever since. Dallas, Texas — Big D, where the red Pegasus still flies over a skyline a frontier trader started by a river ford.

What’s with the flying red Pegasus? Look up in downtown Dallas and you may catch a red horse with wings, glowing against the night. The flying red Pegasus has watched over the city since 1934, when an oil company raised a rotating neon “Flying Red Horse” atop the Magnolia Building — then the tallest tower west of the Mississippi — to welcome the oilmen of a national convention. It was visible for miles, bright enough that pilots are said to have steered by it, and it quickly became the thing Dallas loved most about itself. Nine decades on, taken down, rebuilt, and re-lit, the Pegasus still turns above the skyline — the unofficial mascot of Big D.

Why People Visit Dallas

Dallas rewards visitors who like a city with confidence: a skyline you can read like a history book, a world-class arts district, museums of real weight, and food worth crossing town for. Add the flying red Pegasus, the Art Deco of Fair Park, and Texas hospitality scaled up, and Big D makes a strong case for itself.
