This is our retro Los Angeles, California 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.

El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles was founded on September 4, 1781, by forty-four settlers of mixed heritage, Los Pobladores, as an adobe farming village on the Porciúncula River. The flood of 1815 washed away the riverside pueblo and it was rebuilt at the present Plaza; Mexican independence reached Alta California in 1821 and the American city incorporated in 1850.

Olvera Street and the Old Plaza are the oldest part of the city, with La Placita church beside them, on a coastal plain ringed by the Santa Monica, San Gabriel and Santa Ana mountains, where the palms meet the Pacific. The small adobe pueblo that grew into the second-largest city in America 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.

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.

More From Los Angeles California

All Los Angeles California Items

Today Los Angeles is a city of millions, but its oldest streets still trace four square leagues laid out around a plaza in 1781. Our Los Angeles designs gather that founding story — the City of Angels, the 1781 pueblo, and Los Pobladores — and pair it with vintage Southern California styling: sunshine, palms, mountains meeting the coast. From a 1781 adobe pueblo to the City of Angels — wear a little of Los Angeles's real beginning, not its billboard.

Our Los Angeles retro logo carries California's grizzly bear and lone star — the emblem of the old California Republic — set over “1850,” the year of statehood. Rendered black-and-white with the worn look of a vintage crate label or a roadside sign, it is rugged and authentic rather than glossy. The bear and star bridge the city's two stories: the adobe pueblo on the river and the state it helped build, a fitting mark for heritage worn rather than hung on a wall.

Why People Visit Los Angeles

Travelers come for the climate, the coast, and the culture, but the quietest surprise is the history: a two-hundred-and-forty-year-old pueblo tucked into the middle of a modern metropolis. History and everyday life sit side by side here in a way few American cities can match, and the founding block asks nothing but a walk.
