The Tyler premium crewneck, for the town that is the Rose Capital of America. A 9.9 oz cotton-rich sweatshirt with a smooth face and the Tyler vintage retro logo on the chest in black.

This is the softer, heavier of our two Tyler crewnecks, the one that becomes the three-days-a-week sweatshirt from October on. Smooth face, rich print, no scratchy tag. If you want the sweatshirt that feels like a favorite on day one, this is it; order now for cold weather and holiday giving.

Built for comfort and built to last: a unisex sweatshirt in a medium-heavy 9.9 oz fabric blended from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. The true-to-size fit works for everyone, the smooth cotton-rich surface carries our retro artwork with rich detail, and ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape keep the shape crisp wash after wash. No scratchy tag thanks to the tear-away label. Machine washable and ethically printed on demand.

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.

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?

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.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

Today Tyler pairs the rose and nursery trade with a regional medical district, two colleges, and shaded historic neighborhoods. Its story runs from a Caddo homeland through a frontier county seat, a failed peach crop, and the rose gamble that gave the town its name. Our Tyler designs gather that identity into wearable form — the Rose Capital, the garden, the spring bloom. From a failed peach crop to America's rose capital, wear a little of Tyler's East Texas bloom.

The Rose Capital of America — where a failed peach crop became the largest rose garden in the country. Tyler is the seat of Smith County, set in the rolling pine country of the East Texas Piney Woods and named in 1846 for President John Tyler. When the town's peach orchards failed in the early twentieth century, growers gambled on roses instead — and the sandy soil and mild climate turned Tyler into one of the world's great rose-growing centers, home of the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, the nation's oldest and largest, and the Texas Rose Festival held every October since 1933. This page tells the story of the Rose Capital of America.

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.
