The Dallas tee, for the town that flies a red Pegasus over its skyline. A classic unisex heavy cotton t-shirt with the Dallas vintage retro logo on the chest in black: the default Dallas shirt, and the one most people start with.

This is the everyday Dallas shirt: medium-weight cotton that holds up to real washing, a crewneck that fits everyone, and a logo that reads as a crest rather than a billboard. Buy it for yourself, buy a second for the person who keeps saying they want one, and it ships free in the U.S.

This unisex heavy cotton t-shirt is cut in a classic fit from medium-weight jersey, with a crewneck, tubular construction, and taped shoulders for durability. DTG-printed design. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/antique shades may use cotton–poly blends.

Dallas began in 1841 as John Neely Bryan’s trading post at the best ford on the Trinity River, on the near-treeless Blackland Prairie of North Texas, with no harbor and no obvious reason to grow. Surveyed in 1844, named county seat in 1846 and chartered in 1856, it willed itself into a city when the railroads arrived in 1872–73 and cotton, banking and commerce followed.

The twentieth century gave the city its icons: Neiman Marcus in 1907, the State Fair at Fair Park from 1886 and the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition that left the world’s largest collection of Art Deco exposition buildings, the neon Pegasus over the 1922 Magnolia Building in 1934, and Reunion Tower’s lit-up ball in 1978. That mix of frontier ford and glittering skyline is the Big D confidence the mark on this piece is drawn from.

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 followed was a boom the city more or less willed into being. Dallas made itself the largest inland cotton market in the country, then turned cotton money into banks, and banks into the financial capital of the East Texas oil fields — “Big D,” where the money was. Style came with the money: Neiman Marcus opened its doors in 1907 and gave the city a name for fashion and luxury it has never let go of. By the early twentieth century the prairie trading post had become one of the great commercial cities of the Southwest — glittering, ambitious, and a little theatrical about it.

Here is a small Dallas mystery: nobody is entirely sure who the city is named for. The usual answer is George Mifflin Dallas, the U.S. vice president of the 1840s, and it may well be him — but John Neely Bryan, who did the naming, never pinned it down, and historians have floated a half-dozen other Dallases over the years. The city has worn the uncertainty lightly. Long ago Dallasites shortened the whole question to two letters that settle nothing and say everything: Big D.

Why People Visit Dallas

Dallas rewards visitors who like a city with confidence: a skyline you can read like a history book, a world-class arts district, museums of real weight, and food worth crossing town for. Add the flying red Pegasus, the Art Deco of Fair Park, and Texas hospitality scaled up, and Big D makes a strong case for itself.
