Customized City Locs flat brim black hat with the license plate from Mexican state of Sinaloa

Of the many places we’ve traveled to fish, Mexico is the one that feels most like home. Through our 20 or so trips to Lake El Salto and Lake Picachos (plus one to Lake Mateos and several non-fishing jaunts to the Yucatan), we’ve grown fond of the people, the culture, the fishing and the food. Indeed, the staff at Anglers Inn in particular feels like family.

Nevertheless, we have comparatively few reminders of our many trips South of the Border (other than all of our fish pictures). Sure, we have some Anglers Inn gear, but nothing celebrating the country more broadly – unlike the Brazilian soccer jerseys, African artifacts and Tahitian shells (we’ll save the story of those shells for another day) that we’ve collected abroad. Accordingly, I set out on the World Wide Web to find some gear that might provide a fun reminder of our many trips to Mexico.

Custom Mexican Sinaloa License Plate hat from City Locs — City Locs makes a variety of customizable hats, including some featuring the Mexican Flag and the license plates of the country’s states. I will definitely have a HPFC Sinaloa hat at some point.

Carnitas con Todo hat — House of Chingasos showed up on my targeted ads on Facebook. I particularly appreciate the “I Love Chi Chis” hat, but “Carnitas Con Todo!” might have a better chance of getting some action.

Black mens chingon t-shirt — Guariz Brand has a bunch of products dedicated to showing Mexican pride and culture. I’m a big fan of the Chingon shirt.

Hecho en Mazatlan sweatshirt from Amazon.com — There are plenty of options, even through Amazon, for “Hecho in Mazatlán” and “Hecho in Sinaloa” apparel, decals and the like.

El Gordito Loteria SPF fishing shirt from Prime Gancho — Prime Gancho serves up “El Gordito Loteria”

Mazatlan Venados baseball beisbol jersey — If you’re a baseball fan, you can get gear dedicated to Mazatlán’s team (Los Venados). There’s an entire kiosk dedicated to their stuff at the Mazatlán airport.

Culiacan Tomateros Beisbol Baseball jersey shirt — Or if you’re more aligned with the city of Culiacan, the Tomateros likewise offer some cool swag.

Pacifico Beer boarshorts for surfing and swimming — And when in doubt, there’s no shortage of Pacifico Beer memorabilia and clothing from a variety of vendors to get you through any beer-related crisis.

I hope everyone takes this in the lighthearted spirit in which it is intended. We only mean to celebrate and appreciate Mexican culture and our Mexican friends. As far as I know, all of these businesses are owned by Mexican nationals or Mexican-Americans.
