The Midland baby bodysuit, for the town that is the Tall City. Soft fine jersey with the Midland 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 Midland piece most often bought for someone else.

Our unisex infant bodysuit pairs light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with ribbed binding, side seams, and a secure snap crotch for easy changes. It's soft and breathable, in 100% combed ringspun cotton for solid colors and a cotton–polyester blend for heather shades.

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.

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.

All Midland Texas Items

Our Midland logo carries a Texas longhorn — the breed that worked this range before the derricks — and a Lone Star over "1845," the year of statehood and the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Texas place. Printed black-and-white with the worn look of a branding iron or a stockyard sign, the longhorn and star read as Texas in shorthand: cattle country, the Lone Star, the open West Texas horizon. What makes this one Midland is the place behind it — the Tall City, the Permian Basin, the wildcatter's gamble, and the skyline standing up off the plains.

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.
