The Mesquite polo, for the town that is the Rodeo Capital of Texas. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Mesquite vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread: hometown pride that passes at the office.

Choose the polo when a t-shirt is too casual and a logo too loud: the embroidered crest reads as a club mark, so it works for golf, a summer dinner or a workday. It is the Mesquite gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

Semi-fitted and side-seamed, this pique polo is cut from soft 100% ring-spun cotton (~5.2 oz/yd²) and finished with a classic 2-button placket and dyed-to-match buttons. The vintage-retro logo is embroidered on the chest. Lightweight and breathable for warm weather, with advanced fabric certification for peace of mind. Machine wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron the decoration, no dry clean. 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 the full details.

Mesquite began in May 1873 as a depot town on the Texas & Pacific Railway, named for Mesquite Creek, close enough to Dallas that Sam Bass robbed the train here in 1878 and got away with about $152. It incorporated on December 3, 1887, and laid out its town square in 1901.

The Mesquite Championship Rodeo has run since 1958, which earned the city its official state designation as the Rodeo Capital of Texas; the 1871 Florence Ranch Homestead keeps the farming years, and the old interurban line tied it to Dallas in the 1920s. The Rodeo Capital is the mark on this piece.

The Blackland Prairie here was long a gathering ground — Caddo, Tawakoni, and Wichita peoples held trading fairs across this part of North Texas. The town itself begins in May 1873, when the Texas & Pacific Railway built a depot on the line east of Dallas and named it for nearby Mesquite Creek. A post office followed in 1874, the first church in 1877, and on December 3, 1887 Mesquite incorporated. It was cotton country at first — gins and farms on the flat prairie — with the railroad running straight into the Dallas markets.

Today Mesquite is a major Dallas suburb of more than 150,000 on the eastern edge of the Metroplex, but its character still runs back to the railroad: a depot town named for a prairie creek, an 1878 train robbery, and a Rodeo Capital identity it has carried since 1958. Our Mesquite designs gather that into wearable form — the rail town, the outlaw country, the Rodeo Capital, the longhorn-and-star. From the old T&P depot to the Saturday-night chutes — wear a little of real North Texas.
