This is our retro Waco, Texas logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Named for the Waco people who settled the Brazos in the late 1700s, the town was platted in 1849 and incorporated in 1856–57. The 1870 Waco Suspension Bridge, 475 feet on Roebling cables, was the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi, and the Chisholm Trail crossed on it, 600,000 steers by 1871.

Dr Pepper was invented at a Waco soda fountain in 1885, a year before Coca-Cola, and the 1906 bottling building is now its museum; the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame sits on the river and a national-monument mammoth bed lies at the edge of town. The bridge over the Brazos is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.

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.

All Waco Texas Items

For its first decades the Brazos was both the making and the bane of Waco. No bridge crossed the river's eight hundred Texas miles, and the cattle drovers pushing herds north on the Chisholm Trail — the great cattle road blazed in 1864 by the trader Jesse Chisholm — had to ford at Waco's shallow banks or swim their longhorns across. Waco's crossing made it a busy checkpoint between the South Texas ranches and the Kansas railheads, but in flood season the river turned impassable for weeks, and a ferry was the only way over.

Today Waco is green and easygoing. Cameron Park spreads over the Brazos bluffs with miles of trail and the Cameron Park Zoo; the riverfront has filled with festivals, food trucks, and the busy Magnolia Market at the Silos; and — a fact every Wacoan enjoys — roughly three-quarters of the world's Snickers bars are made right here. River walks, fossils, and a soda fountain's worth of history, all on one bend of the Brazos.

Why People Visit Waco

Waco balances discovery with simple outdoor time. Visitors mix fossils, the historic bridge, and museums with shaded riverfront parks and an easy downtown. It is friendly, curious, and easy to navigate, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. Frontier Texas and Ice Age deep time sit side by side here — history and everyday culture together in a welcoming way, with relaxed mornings and unhurried afternoons.
