The Pasadena cap, for the town that is where the urban cowboy rode. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Pasadena vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Pasadena 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.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

John Burnett of Galveston founded Pasadena in 1893 and named it, optimistically, for the lush California town; the railroad reached it in 1894. After the 1900 Galveston hurricane Clara Barton sent strawberry plants, and the town became the strawberry capital of the Gulf Coast, then a Ship Channel boomtown after 1914.

Gilley’s opened around 1971 as the world’s largest honky-tonk, and in 1980 Urban Cowboy put its mechanical bull on every screen in America. The 1950 Washburn Tunnel runs under the Ship Channel, the Capitan Theater keeps its neon, and the Strawberry Festival keeps the old name. Pasadena, Texas, is the mark on this piece.

More From Pasadena Texas

All Pasadena Texas Items

Pasadena itself was brand new when the strawberries arrived. In 1893 a Galveston developer named John H. Burnett laid out a townsite on the prairie southeast of Houston and, taken with the green of the place, borrowed the name of Pasadena, California. The railroad reached it in 1894, and the settlement grew as a farming community — strawberries above all, but also cantaloupe, figs, and the fragrant cape jasmine — supplying the Houston markets just up the road. For its first decades Pasadena was a quiet country town on the edge of a growing city.

For all the oil and the honky-tonk nights, Pasadena never let go of the berry. The Pasadena Strawberry Festival, held each spring, draws crowds for its carnival, its livestock show and rodeo, and that record-setting shortcake; it is the town's signature weekend and the truest link back to the Clara Barton plants of 1900. Add the Pasadena Livestock Show & Rodeo and a calendar of community fairs, and the picture is of a city that works hard all week and celebrates loud — strawberries, Western, and Gulf-coast all at once.

Why People Visit Pasadena

Pasadena balances big-city access with Gulf-coast ease. Visitors pair the strawberry and Western heritage with bayou boardwalks, festival weekends, and a short hop to Houston, the Space Center nearby, or the beach. It is friendly, unpretentious, and family-oriented, with year-round appeal in its parks, trails, and public spaces. History and everyday culture sit side by side here in a welcoming way.
