The Garland heavy crewneck, for the town that made one town out of two. A classic 50/50 fleece sweatshirt with the Garland vintage retro logo on the chest in white: the plain, durable one.

Choose this crewneck for durability and price: classic fit, ribbed collar and cuffs, a fleece that shrugs off years of washing. It is the Garland sweatshirt to buy in twos, one for home and one for the person who grew up there, and it ships free in the U.S.

Medium-heavy fleece gives this unisex crewneck sweatshirt its warmth and durability. The classic fit has a ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband, double-needle seams, and a tear-away label, with the design DTG-printed. Standard 8.0 oz 50% cotton/50% polyester; Heather Sport 60/40. Note: White may appear off-white; Orange hue may vary.

Duck Creek and Embree were two feuding railroad camps glaring at each other across the Blackland Prairie until 1887, when Congressman Joseph Abbott placed a neutral post office between them and the merged town took the name of Attorney General Augustus Garland. It incorporated in 1891 and built its cotton mill in 1910.

The historic downtown square and the restored 1941 Plaza Theatre anchor the old center, onions shipped out by the trainload in the 1940s, and Lake Ray Hubbard borders the city on the east. One town made from two is the mark on this piece.

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.

What's with Duck Creek and Embree? Garland began in 1887 as a post office set between two feuding railroad towns, Duck Creek and Embree, named for Attorney General Augustus Garland. The feud was real: when two railroads built rival depots in 1886, old Duck Creek split into two new towns — Duck Creek on the Katy line and Embree on the Santa Fe — that fought over everything, the post office most of all. A fire gutted old Duck Creek's business district; Embree grabbed the mail; injunctions flew; the fight landed in court. In late 1887 Congressman Joseph Abbott settled it the Texas way — he had the post office moved to neutral ground exactly midway between the two depots, and on December 9, 1887 it opened under a brand-new name. Local legend says both towns accepted it because Augustus Garland had never set foot in Texas: nobody knew him, so nobody could object.

The land came first, and it was extraordinary land — the Blackland Prairie, a belt of deep black waxy soil that made some of the finest cotton country in America. Settlers of the Peters Colony began arriving around 1850, and by 1854 the little community of Duck Creek, named for the stream that still runs through the city, had its own post office. The village that grew up in the 1870s was pure Blackland Texas: cotton gins, gristmills, churches, and farm families working ground so rich it turned the region into the cotton heart of North Texas.
