The Amarillo cap, for the town that is the Yellow City on the Mother Road. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Amarillo vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Amarillo 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.

A breathable cotton dad cap with a classic, vintage-inspired embroidered finish. The unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit has a Permacurv visor, self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details in our Embroidery footer.

The railroad dropped a cattle town on the Llano Estacado in 1887, first called Oneida, then Amarillo, Spanish for yellow, for the wildflowers or the soil. It moved to higher ground in 1889, and by 1890 it was one of the busiest cattle-shipping points in the world; oil, gas and helium followed in the early 1900s.

Route 66 came through in 1926, and the Historic Sixth Street District keeps its Art Deco and Spanish Revival storefronts; Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the country, opens twenty-five miles south. The Yellow City of the Panhandle is the mark on this piece.

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.

Amarillo is the Yellow City — capital of the Texas Panhandle, out on the high, flat Llano Estacado where the railroad dropped a cattle town in 1887 and Route 66 later ran straight through its heart. This is big-sky Texas: feedlots and ranch country to every horizon, the second-largest canyon in America just down the road, ten Cadillacs planted nose-down in a field, and a town that was once the busiest cattle-shipping point on earth. Cowboy bones, Mother Road neon, helium under the caprock — that is Amarillo.

The twentieth century layered on the legends. Route 66 came through in 1926, and the San Jacinto stretch along Sixth Street — art deco and Spanish Revival storefronts, now a historic district of antiques and dining — became one of the Mother Road's marquee runs. Helium discovered in the Cliffside gas field made Amarillo the Helium Capital of the World, with the federal helium plant opening in 1929. Oil and gas, ranching and meatpacking kept the Panhandle's capital growing — and country fans the world over know the city's name from the rodeo standard “Amarillo by Morning.”

Why People Visit Amarillo Texas

Amarillo draws visitors with a mix of Western heritage, natural wonder, and Mother Road Americana. Travelers find it both a marquee stop along historic Route 66 and the gateway to Palo Duro Canyon, with deep cattle-ranching and Quarter-Horse traditions and the wide, plainspoken character of the high plains. It is proud, practical, and unmistakably Texan.
