The Dallas baby bodysuit, for the town that flies a red Pegasus over its skyline. Soft fine jersey with the Dallas 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 Dallas 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.

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.

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?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

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.

Our Dallas logo carries the Texas longhorn over “Texas Republic · Est. 1845,” the year Texas joined the Union — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Texas town. Printed in clean retro black-and-white that reads like an old rodeo poster or a brand burned into a fence rail, the longhorn and Lone Star stand for Texas as a whole; what makes this one Dallas is everything behind it — the flying red Pegasus, the lit-up Ball on the skyline, the Art Deco grandeur of Fair Park, and a prairie trading post that willed itself into Big D.

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.
