The Midland cap, for the town that is the Tall City. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Midland vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Midland 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.

Our unisex embroidered dad cap pairs a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel fit with a Permacurv visor and durable four-row visor stitching. Made from breathable cotton with a matching undervisor and a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle. All colors are 100% cotton (camo: 65% polyester / 35% cotton). The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired; because embroidery uses thread rather than ink, slight differences from the digital product image are normal. Full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Midland began in 1881 as Midway Station on the Texas & Pacific, took its name in 1884 and incorporated in 1906 on the flat Llano Estacado at 2,800 feet. The Santa Rita No. 1 strike of 1923 lit the Permian Basin boom, and by 1929 thirty-six oil companies kept offices in town.

The 1928 Thomas Building was the first office tower, and the downtown high-rises that followed gave the Tall City its name, a skyline rising straight out of the plains. The geology underfoot, the Midland Basin and its shale, is the whole identity. The Tall City is the mark on this piece.

The skyline rises out of nothing. Drive across the flat West Texas plains and Midland appears the way nothing else out here does — a cluster of high-rises standing straight up off the caprock, visible for miles before you reach the city limits. They call it the Tall City, and the towers are monuments to what lies beneath: the Permian Basin, the richest oilfield in America. Founded in 1881 as a dot on a railroad timetable and built into the corporate capital of the oil boom, Midland is a city that runs on what is buried under it — and its story is the story of West Texas itself.

Midland began as a dot on a timetable. In late June 1881 the Texas & Pacific Railway, building its line between Dallas and El Paso, put down a section house at the halfway point on the Llano Estacado — the high, flat, semi-arid "staked plains" — and called it Midway Station. Herman N. Garrett, a sheep rancher who drove his herd out from California in 1882, became the first permanent resident. Texas already had other Midways, so when the settlement won a post office in January 1884 it took a new name to get it: Midland. A land company promoted the townsite across the Midwest, Midland County was organized in March 1885 with the young town as its seat, and by 1890 Midland was one of the state's important cattle-shipping points — ranch country at nearly 2,800 feet, incorporated as a city in 1906.
