The Tyler polo, for the town that is the Rose Capital of America. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Tyler vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in black 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 Tyler gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

This semi-fitted pique polo pairs soft 100% ring-spun cotton (~5.2 oz/yd²) with a chest-embroidered vintage-retro logo. Side seams, a classic 2-button placket, and dyed-to-match buttons keep it sharp yet easy, and the lightweight, breathable fabric is made for warm weather; advanced fabric certification adds peace of mind. Machine wash cold (gentle), tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron decoration, no dry clean. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details are explained 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.

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?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean.

All Tyler Texas Items

Tyler's stories run with the seasons. They'll tell you the whole town turns out for the Texas Rose Festival each October, crowning a Rose Queen the way it has since 1933. They'll tell you that for ten miles every spring the brick-street neighborhoods of the Azalea Trail erupt in azaleas and dogwoods, with porches and gardens open for the tour. And they'll tell you it all started with a failed peach crop and a stubborn bet on roses — the kind of East Texas pivot that turned a hard year into the thing the town is now famous for.

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.

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.
