The Delta Junction baby bodysuit, for the town that is the end of the Alaska Highway. Soft fine jersey with the Delta Junction vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Delta Junction piece most often bought for someone else.

This unisex baby bodysuit is made from soft, breathable fine jersey at a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²). A secure snap crotch makes changes easy, and ribbed binding with side seams adds durability. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heathers include a cotton–polyester blend.

A telegraph station in 1904, then a roadhouse stop on the trail north, Delta Junction became the construction camp where the Alaska Highway ran out in 1942, at the Triangle where it meets the Richardson Highway on the way to Fairbanks. The 1905 Sullivan Roadhouse is the oldest in the Interior and Rika’s Roadhouse has stood since 1909.

Historic Milepost 1422 marks the official end of the road, and travelers who make it collect a certificate at the visitor center. The free-roaming bison herd dates to 1928, and the town sits in the Tanana Valley under three mountain ranges and the cold Delta wind. The end of the road 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.

More From Delta Junction Alaska

All Delta Junction Alaska Items

Our Delta Junction logo carries Alaska's distressed bear over "1959," the year of statehood and the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Alaska town. The bear is the Last Frontier in shorthand — wilderness, toughness, the wide Interior — printed black-and-white with the worn look of a crate stamp or an outfitter's brand. What makes this one Delta Junction is the place behind it: the end of the Alaska Highway, the buffalo herd, the Tanana Valley under three ranges. On a tee or a cap it reads less like a souvenir and more like a piece of the Interior — worn plain.

This has always been a crossroads. The Tanana River Valley is Athabascan homeland, and the route through it became the Valdez-to-Fairbanks Trail in the early 1900s, carrying gold-seekers and freight between the coast and the Interior. A telegraph station went up in 1904; roadhouses followed to feed and shelter the travelers, including Sullivan Roadhouse in 1905 and Rika's Roadhouse around 1909, the latter run for decades by the Swedish immigrant Rika Wallen and now the centerpiece of Big Delta State Historical Park. In the 1920s the government chose the Delta country for a buffalo-importation experiment, trucking plains bison up from Montana — and the free-roaming herd stuck, giving the place its first name: Buffalo Center.
