The Austin cap, for the town that is the capital of the Lone Star State. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Austin vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Austin 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.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

The village of Waterloo on the Colorado River was chosen as capital of the Republic of Texas in 1839, renamed for Stephen F. Austin and incorporated on December 27 of that year. The Archive War of 1842–45 kept the capital here, statehood passed through in 1846, and the 1840 French Legation is the oldest documented wooden building in the city.

The 1888 Capitol’s sunset-red granite dome stands taller than the one in Washington, Congress Avenue runs the original grid, Barton Springs feeds the limestone Hill Country, and the bats fly at dusk. The capital of the Lone Star State is the mark on this piece.

More From Austin Texas

All Austin Texas Items

Comanche and Tonkawa peoples lived across this stretch of Central Texas long before any town. In the late 1830s a small settlement on the Colorado River called Waterloo caught the eye of the young Republic of Texas, and in 1839 it was renamed Austin — for Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas" — and chosen as the capital of the independent republic. Surveyors laid a grid above the river, its streets named for Texas rivers and trees, and a frontier village became the seat of a nation.

Our Austin logo carries the Texas longhorn and the Lone Star over "Texas Republic · Est. 1845" — 1845 the year Texas joined the Union as the Lone Star State. The longhorn's sweeping horns stand for Texas frontier grit, and the single star for the independence that gave the Lone Star State its name. Printed in a distressed black-and-white that reads like old stockyard and state-fair signage, it's the Lone Star in shorthand. What makes this one Austin is the country behind it — the capital on the Colorado, the Hill Country springs, and the city of the violet crown.

Why People Visit Austin

Austin balances Texas-capital history with easygoing Hill Country life — spring-fed swimming, river trails, big landmarks, and a deep live-music heritage. It's a relaxed, walkable base for Central Texas and the Hill Country.
