The McKinney tank, for the town that built its square around an 1875 courthouse. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the McKinney vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer McKinney piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

This unisex jersey tank is made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit, side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. It runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Collin County was created in 1846 and McKinney became its seat on March 16, 1848, when rain kept the rival Sloan’s Grove voters from the polls; William Davis gave 120 acres for the townsite in 1849. Both town and county are named for Collin McKinney, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

The railroad arrived in 1872 and cotton and grain built the French Second Empire courthouse of 1875, with its mansard roof and twin towers, that still centers one of the great Texas squares, now ringed by more than 120 shops. Money named it the best place to live in America in 2014. Texas history on the square 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.

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?

The name goes back to the founding of Texas itself. Both the city and Collin County are named for Collin McKinney — a surveyor and pioneer who was one of the five men who drafted, and a signer of, the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836, and the oldest of all the signers. He never actually lived in the town that carries his name, settling instead farther east near the Red River. Collin County was created in 1846; in 1848 the county seat moved here, and the next year William Davis donated 120 acres for the townsite.

Downtown filled with the families who ran it. The Heard brothers kept an 1880s mercantile and opera house on the square; Stephen Heard's restored Victorian mansion is now the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts, and John Heard's daughter Bessie turned her love of wildlife into the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary, with trails and live animals on the edge of town. The 1911 post office is now the Collin County History Museum.

Why People Visit McKinney

Visitors choose McKinney for its handsome square, approachable museums, and easy walkability. It balances small-city heritage with everyday outdoor spaces, from the courthouse and Chestnut Square to the Heard sanctuary and the park trails. Families and day-trippers find a friendly layout and an unhurried pace, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces — and the historic square always at the center of it.
