Custom Merch for Bands in Irving, TX

Irving bands

Merch Mob makes tour tees, hoodies for cold dates, and hats and beanies for bands in Irving, TX, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Irving. College students are a smaller slice of Irving than of the US, 5% of residents aged 3 and up against 7% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so plan for a wider age range: hoodies, caps and standard-fit tees in a full size run.

Irving by the numbers

Irving's population has held steady since 2020, at 257,076 residents (Census estimates).

Dallas County has 39 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.15 for every 10,000 residents, slightly below the national figure of 0.17. 85% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 15% from 34 in 2018.

The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

Dallas County as a whole has 2,661,397 residents, up 1.9% since 2020. Dallas County has one musical group or artist for every 68,240 residents.

Weather in Irving

What Irving's weather means for bands

Outdoor dates in Irving run hot, with about 106 days a year at 90°F or more and an average August high of 96°F, so a soft, light-colored tee suits an open-air show better than heavy black cotton. Pack a stack of hoodies for winter club dates, when January nights average 36°F, and give the rest of the van to tees, tanks and caps. Tees carry the table from April to October, when average highs reach 70°F, the stretch when outdoor stages are likeliest. About 20 days a year reach 100°F, so keep boxed stock out of the hottest part of the van and set the table in shade for any afternoon date. May is the wettest month, at about 4.8 inches, so bring a tarp or tent for any outdoor table that month.
