The Sacramento cap, for the town that is the City of Trees where the Gold Rush got its supplies. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Sacramento vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Sacramento 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.

John Sutter built his fort at New Helvetia in 1839, James Marshall’s gold strike at nearby Coloma on January 24, 1848, set off the Rush, and Sutter’s son laid out the city at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers that December. It incorporated on February 27, 1850, the oldest incorporated city in California, and became the state capital in 1854.

The Pony Express ended here from 1860, the First Transcontinental Railroad began here in 1863, and after the floods of 1849 and 1862 the streets were raised, leaving Old Sacramento’s Gold Rush buildings with an underground. The neoclassical Capitol rose in 1869–74 and the gold Tower Bridge in 1935. The City of Trees 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.

More From Sacramento California

All Sacramento California Items

Sacramento is the End of the Line and the start of the next one — the Gold Rush's supply town, the Pony Express finish, the place the transcontinental railroad began, California's capital under a canopy of trees at the meeting of two rivers. Our Sacramento designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the Gold Rush capital. Wear the City of Trees. City of Trees. Capital since 1854.

It nearly washed away more than once. The rivers that made Sacramento a port also flooded it — catastrophically in 1850 and again in 1862 — and rather than move, the city raised itself, jacking up buildings and filling the streets a full story higher. That is why Old Sacramento has an "underground": the original ground floors are now basements. The levees and the raised grade held, and in 1854 the young river city won the prize that fixed its future — it became the capital of California, and the domed State Capitol rose over Capitol Park by 1874.

Why People Visit Sacramento

Sacramento rewards travelers who want history, rivers, and shade rather than a beach — the Gold-Rush waterfront, the railroad that started here, the capitol, and a walkable grid under a famous tree canopy. People come for Old Sacramento and the Railroad Museum, for the Capitol and the gold bridge, and for an easy California day where frontier history and a leafy capital city sit side by side at the meeting of two rivers.
