The Corpus Christi cap, for the town that is the Sparkling City by the Sea. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Corpus Christi vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Corpus Christi 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.

Spanish explorers named the bay for the feast of Corpus Christi in 1519; Henry Kinney’s trading post of 1839 became the Nueces County seat in 1846 and a city in 1852, after Zachary Taylor’s army staged here for the Mexican-American War. The deep-water port opened in 1926 and oil followed in 1930.

The carrier USS Lexington, the Blue Ghost of the Second World War, has ridden at anchor on the bayfront as a museum since 1992, and Padre Island National Seashore runs about seventy miles down the Gulf, the longest undeveloped barrier-island beach in the country. The Sparkling City by the Sea 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.

How do I care for my item?

More From Corpus Christi Texas

All Corpus Christi Texas Items

Five centuries after a Spanish captain named the bay, Corpus Christi is still what it has always been: a working harbor with a beach town's heart. The carrier is still at her berth, the turtles still come ashore on Padre, and the Gulf wind still never quits. From the Blue Ghost at anchor to the turtle tracks in the sand — wear a little of the Sparkling City by the Sea.

And then there are the beaches. Across the causeway, Mustang Island and Padre Island shelter the bay from the open Gulf, and Padre Island National Seashore protects about 66 miles of undeveloped barrier island — dunes, prairie, and tide line with no town in sight, the longest stretch of its kind in the United States. It is the most important U.S. nesting ground of the Kemp's ridley, the world's most endangered sea turtle, and on summer mornings rangers release hatchlings to the surf before crowds who came to watch them go.

Why People Visit Corpus Christi Texas

Corpus Christi draws people who love the water, the wind, and a deep streak of history on the same coast. It is the Sparkling City by the Sea — home of a WWII carrier you can walk, the longest wild beach in America, a leading Gulf-coast port, and a proud Tejano-cultural heart. Visitors come for the rare combination: a working bayfront, barrier-island shore, the steady Gulf wind that made the bay a windsurfing capital, and the Blue Ghost riding at anchor over it all.
