Shoppers in Austin for the 2026 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix on Oct. 23-25 can access a new Texas-inspired collection from Pacsun. The apparel line features Western-style graphics and denim designed to capture the race weekend energy.

As Austin hosts the massive international event, local retail offerings have shifted to lean into Texas aesthetics. The collaboration marks the fourth year of a licensing partnership between Pacsun and Formula 1.

The collection spans a price range of $35 to $175, reflecting its position in the fourth year of the licensing partnership between Pacsun and Formula 1. Availability of specific items remains limited to store inventory and online stock.

The players

The details

Pacsun is utilizing vintage Western workwear themes including embroidery, metallic ink, and metallic thread to create a worn-in aesthetic.

The company is leaning on sports partnerships as a primary platform to connect with younger consumers during the event.

The Texas Context

This launch follows the successful 2025 release of a Formula 1 cowboy hat that sold out in just hours. The current collection expands on that Western-inspired design approach to align with the Austin race atmosphere.

Fans attending the Grand Prix from Oct. 23-25 can browse the new items at the dedicated trackside shop. Residents can also find the collection at local retail stores throughout the city during the race weekend.

The takeaway

The collection leans heavily on vintage Western motifs to cater to the specific aesthetic of the Austin race. Keep an eye on local store inventory during the event if you are looking to purchase specific pieces, as high-demand items from these collaborations have historically sold out quickly.
