This is our retro Pasadena, Texas logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

More From Pasadena Texas

All Pasadena Texas Items

Our Pasadena logo carries Texas's longhorn and Lone Star above ‘Texas Republic — Est. 1845,’ the shared retro emblem of our Texas towns. The longhorn stands for ranching toughness and the star for the Lone Star State, and the 1845 date marks Texas statehood; the emblem is the through-line that links Pasadena to every other Texas town we make. It suits this one well — the same Western spirit that filled the Gilley's dance floor, stamped over a town that has always worn its boots and its grit with pride. What makes this one Pasadena is the strawberry sweetness underneath the swagger.

Today Pasadena is a big, diverse Houston-area city — majority Hispanic, proud of its strawberry past, its Western nights, and its working waterfront. Its days run from bayou mornings to refinery shifts to festival weekends, all under the wide Gulf sky. Our Pasadena designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. This is the Strawberry Capital — and where the urban cowboy rode.

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.
