The Houston cap, for the town that answers to Mission Control. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Houston vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Houston 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.

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

The Allen brothers laid out Houston in 1836 and named it for Sam Houston after San Jacinto; it served as capital of the Republic of Texas from 1837 to 1839. Spindletop made it the oil capital after 1901, and the Houston Ship Channel of 1914 turned an inland town on Buffalo Bayou into one of the great ports.

NASA’s center opened in 1961, and the word Houston has meant Mission Control ever since; the Astrodome of 1965 was the first domed stadium, and the world’s largest rodeo rolls in every March. The fourth-largest city in America covers 666 square miles with no zoning laws at all. Space City 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?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

All Houston Texas Items

Our Houston retro logo uses the Texas longhorn motif over “Texas – Est. 1849,” emphasizing frontier grit and the cattle-and-cotton commerce that built the state. Black-and-white styling mirrors stockyard brands and railroad signage — rugged, timeless, retro in style — bridging Houston’s layered heritage: bayou trading post, Republic capital, oil port, Space City. On merchandise it reads authentic and vintage — an emblem of Texas Gulf Coast pride.

What’s with the Eighteen Minutes? On April 21, 1836, the entire Texas Revolution came down to eighteen minutes. General Sam Houston’s Texian army — charging to cries of “Remember the Alamo!” — caught Santa Anna’s force at siesta on the plain of San Jacinto and routed it completely. Texas was free. Fought on the bayou prairie twenty-two miles east of today’s downtown, the battle created a republic in less time than a coffee break — and it gave the city that rose beside the battleground its name, its founding year, and its permanent taste for moving fast.

Why People Visit Houston Texas

Houston offers space heritage, Texas Revolution history, world-class museums, bayou parks, and one of the most diverse food scenes in the country. Visitors come for Mission Control and the San Jacinto battleground, the museum district and the bayou trails, the rodeo in March, and the simple scale of a city that runs from downtown skyline to ship channel to Gulf Coast. It is sprawling, layered, and unlike anywhere else in America.
