The Tyler cap, for the town that is the Rose Capital of America. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Tyler vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Tyler 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.

A breathable cotton dad cap with a classic, vintage-inspired embroidered finish. The unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit has a Permacurv visor, self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details in our Embroidery footer.

The Texas Legislature established Tyler on April 11, 1846, as the seat of Smith County, named for President John Tyler, and it incorporated in 1850. When the peach crop failed, the East Texas town planted roses, and the East Texas oil discovery of 1930 paid for the rest.

The Municipal Rose Garden is the oldest and largest in the nation, fourteen acres and more than 38,000 bushes, the Texas Rose Festival has crowned a queen every October since 1933, and ten miles of brick streets in the Azalea District erupt every spring. The Rose Capital in the Piney Woods 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.

More From Tyler Texas

All Tyler Texas Items

Our Tyler logo carries the same emblem every Merlin Classics Texas place wears — a Texas longhorn and the Lone Star, above "Texas Republic, Est. 1845," rendered in hand-printed black and white with a worn, vintage feel. The longhorn and star are the Texas mark, the through-line that ties Tyler to every other Texas place we make. What makes this one Tyler is everything around it: the Rose Capital, the garden in bloom, the azalea-lined streets of the Piney Woods. On a tee or a cap it reads less like a souvenir and more like a piece of East Texas — Est. 1845, worn plain.

By the mid-twentieth century Tyler was fully the Rose Capital. The first Texas Rose Festival was held in 1933, crowning a Rose Queen and filling downtown with a parade and a Rose Show each October, as it still does. The Municipal Rose Garden grew to fourteen acres and tens of thousands of bushes — the oldest and largest of its kind in the country — and in 2019 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. From 1960 the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail laid out tour routes through the brick-street historic neighborhoods, and families came for the pine-forest lake at Tyler State Park, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the 85-acre Caldwell Zoo. Today that heritage sits alongside a regional medical district and two colleges, but the blooms still set the calendar.

Why People Visit Tyler Texas

People come to Tyler for the blooms — the largest rose garden in America, the October Rose Festival, the spring azalea streets — and find a friendly East Texas city of historic homes, pine-forest lakes, and easy days. Garden and flower lovers make it a pilgrimage; festival and heritage travelers time their trips to the two bloom seasons; and the Piney Woods keep the weekends green the rest of the year.
