The Carrollton baby bodysuit, for the town that grew up where the Katy crossed the Cotton Belt. Soft fine jersey with the Carrollton 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 Carrollton piece most often bought for someone else.

Unisex infant bodysuit made from soft, breathable fine jersey with a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) weight. Ribbed binding and side seams add durability, and the secure snap crotch makes changes easy. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Pioneers from Carrollton, Illinois, settled this Peters’ Colony land in the early 1840s and gave the town its name; the post office came in 1878 when the railroad reached Trinity Mills, and the Cotton Belt crossed the Katy here in 1888, making Carrollton the shipping center of the area. It incorporated in 1913.

The concrete grain-elevator silos that ring the Downtown Square are the landmark of that cotton-and-grain era, beside the old depot and switchyard, and the city now spans Dallas, Denton and Collin counties with one of North Texas’s largest Korean-American communities. The rail crossing 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.

More From Carrollton Texas

All Carrollton Texas Items

The most Carrollton thing on the skyline came with that shipping trade: the tall concrete grain-elevator silos that still ring the east side of the Square. Built to hold the grain the trains hauled in and out, the cylindrical complex outlasted the farms it served and became the town's accidental monument — a piece of industrial Texas standing over a square of vintage storefronts. In recent years the city has begun turning the silos into public art and a gateway for rail riders, so the structure that once measured the harvest now greets the commuter. Few suburbs keep a landmark so plainly honest about where their money first came from.

Our Carrollton logo carries the Texas longhorn and the Lone Star above 'Texas Republic — Est. 1845,' the shared retro emblem of our Texas towns; the longhorn stands for the cattle-and-cotton country the town was built to ship, the star for Texas itself, and 1845 marks the year Texas joined the Union as a state. Rendered distressed in black-and-white, like a brand on a crate or a stock pen, it ties Carrollton to every other Texas town we make. What makes this one Carrollton is the town behind the brand — the two Carrolltons, the rail crossing, and the silos on the Square.

Why People Visit Carrollton

Visitors come to Carrollton for the old railroad town inside the modern suburb — the Square, the silos, and the Switchyard — and stay for the food, the parks, and the easy reach of the whole Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is equal parts Texas heritage and present-day diversity, with vintage storefronts on one block and Korean bakeries on the next. Welcoming and well-connected, Carrollton rewards anyone curious about how a North Texas farm town became a three-county suburb without losing its center.
