The McAllen tank, for the town that is the City of Palms on the Rio Grande. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the McAllen vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer McAllen piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

This unisex jersey tank is made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit, side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. It runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Santa Anita Ranch was a Spanish land grant of 1797; the railway reached it in 1904 and the McAllen Townsite Company, named for Irish-born rancher John McAllen, was founded on December 5 that year. The city incorporated in 1911, and some 20,000 New York Guardsmen were stationed here in 1916.

The City of Palms nickname was set by 1940. Quinta Mazatlan, a 1930s Spanish Revival adobe mansion, is now the World Birding Center, in a valley where more than 540 bird species have been recorded, in citrus country where Texas turns tropical and two countries share one valley. The City of Palms 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.

All McAllen Texas Items

And the birds know no border at all. McAllen is one of North America's great birding destinations: the Valley sits on the central flyway funnel where more than 500 species have been recorded, and Quinta Mazatlán — a 1930s Spanish Revival adobe mansion turned World Birding Center site — keeps fifteen acres of native forest in the middle of the city. The green jay, the Valley's dazzling signature bird, is an everyday sight here and almost nowhere else in the United States; winter Texans and birders arrive together every year when the north turns cold.

Our retro McAllen designs draw on all of it — the palms against a Valley sky, the green jay's colors, the bridge to Reynosa, the citrus gold of the groves, and the Lone Star pride of deep South Texas. Each piece is rendered in the vintage travel style we build for every American town we love, made to feel like a postcard from el Valle you can wear.

Why People Visit McAllen

McAllen offers something rare — a subtropical Texas city where world-class birding, citrus country, and a living bi-national culture all sit within easy reach. Visitors come for the palms and the birds, stay for the food and the warmth, and leave understanding why this corner of Texas calls itself the City of Palms.
