The Tyler tee, for the town that is the Rose Capital of America. A classic unisex heavy cotton t-shirt with the Tyler vintage retro logo on the chest in white: the default Tyler shirt, and the one most people start with.

This is the everyday Tyler shirt: medium-weight cotton that holds up to real washing, a crewneck that fits everyone, and a logo that reads as a crest rather than a billboard. Buy it for yourself, buy a second for the person who keeps saying they want one, and it ships free in the U.S.

Everyday comfort in medium-weight heavy cotton: a classic-fit unisex crewneck tee with tubular construction and taped shoulders for durability, DTG-printed. Solids are 100% cotton, and select heather/antique shades may use cotton–poly blends.

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. 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?

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.
