The McAllen hoodie, for the town that is the City of Palms on the Rio Grande. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the McAllen vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one McAllen piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from McAllen, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Warm, durable, and easy to live in: a unisex pullover hoodie in medium-heavy fleece with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching at the key seams. Regular fit, true to size for adults, tear-away label. 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester (heathers may use cotton–poly 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.

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 McAllen Texas Items

That rhythm is the culture. McAllen sits at the heart of Tejano South Texas — a bilingual, overwhelmingly Mexican-American valley where conjunto accordions and Tejano music grew up in the dance halls, where la frontera is not a line but a way of life, and where family trees have branches on both banks of the river. The Valley's own name for itself — el Valle — says it plainly: one valley, two countries, one community.

A land-grant ranch, a railroad town, a bridge between nations, and a sky full of green jays — McAllen wears its story lightly, the way the palms wear the wind. From the Santa Anita grant of 1797 to the bi-national valley of today, every era left something worth keeping: the palms, the music, the citrus gold, the family names on both banks of the river. City of Palms. Heart of the Rio Grande Valley. Wear a little of it wherever the road takes you.

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.
