The Eagle River baby bodysuit, for the town that is the gateway to the Chugach. Soft fine jersey with the Eagle River 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 Eagle River piece most often bought for someone else.

Our unisex infant bodysuit pairs light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with ribbed binding, side seams, and a secure snap crotch for easy changes. It's soft and breathable, in 100% combed ringspun cotton for solid colors and a cotton–polyester blend for heather shades.

The Dena’ina used this valley for thousands of years and Eklutna, eight centuries old, is the oldest village in the Anchorage area. Homesteaders arrived in the 1930s, the bases next door were built in 1939–43, and the community became part of the Municipality of Anchorage in 1975.

The river runs twenty-eight miles from Eagle Glacier to Knik Arm, fifteen minutes north of downtown Anchorage, and the town is the main gateway to Chugach State Park, 495,000 acres and the third-largest state park in the United States, with the Eagle River Nature Center its most-visited trailhead. The river that goes home through the mountains 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 Eagle River Alaska

All Eagle River Alaska Items

The modern town is a post-war story. After the Second World War, returning servicemembers took up homesteads in the Chugiak–Eagle River valley, and the community grew up alongside the great Anchorage military posts — Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson, today joined as Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, or JBER, just to the south. As Anchorage expanded outward, Eagle River became its mountain-side bedroom community, and in 1975 the valley was folded into the unified Municipality of Anchorage. It has carried a double identity ever since: fifteen minutes from a downtown, fifteen minutes from genuine wilderness.

For all the wilderness at its back, Eagle River is a real town with its own rhythms. Every July the Bear Paw Festival fills the streets with a parade, a carnival, and the famous Slippery Salmon Olympics — the community's big summer gathering. For the many military families rotating through JBER, Eagle River becomes a place that stays with them: a valley they hiked, a river they fished, a hometown for a few years that turns up on a hoodie long after the next set of orders. It is a town that knows exactly what it is.

Why People Visit Eagle River

Eagle River offers a rare balance: easy access to a real Alaskan city paired with immediate, serious wilderness. Visitors come for the Chugach trailheads, the glacier-fed river, and the big mountain scenery, all minutes from town, and they stay for how unhurried it feels compared with the highway towns. It is a genuine four-season valley — hiking and fishing in the long summer light, skiing and snow on the peaks deep into spring.
