The Homer baby bodysuit, for the town that is the end of the road on Kachemak Bay. Soft fine jersey with the Homer 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 Homer 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.

Coal mines opened here around 1889, the town was founded in 1895 and named the next year for Homer Pennock, a mining promoter who left within a year, and a coal railroad ran down the Spit by 1899. Mining gave way to fishing, and the city incorporated in 1964, the year the Good Friday earthquake reshaped the Spit.

The Homer Spit reaches four and a half miles into Kachemak Bay beneath a wall of glaciers and the Kenai Mountains, the 1897 Salty Dawg cabin stands at the harbor, and the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World doubles as one of the artsiest small towns in Alaska. The Spit at the end of the Sterling Highway 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.

All Homer Alaska Items

Fishing made Homer, and it still does. The town calls itself the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World, and the boast is earned: the charter fleet and the commercial boats working Kachemak Bay and lower Cook Inlet land some of the largest halibut anywhere, and the harbor on the Spit fills each summer with the business of catching, weighing, and shipping fish. Salmon, crab, and the rest round out a working waterfront that has outlasted every other scheme the town ever tried — coal included.

For all its frontier toughness, Homer is also an arts town. Over the second half of the twentieth century the place drew painters, potters, writers, and musicians, and today its galleries, the Bunnell Street Arts Center, and a lively creative community sit alongside the fishing docks. Add the Pratt Museum and the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center — gateway to the great Maritime National Wildlife Refuge — and Homer becomes that rare thing: a working fishing port that is also a genuine cultural outpost at the end of the road.

Why People Visit Homer

Homer offers Alaska at its most scenic and approachable — a working fishing port and arts town on one of the most beautiful bays in the state. Visitors come for the halibut charters, the Spit, and the wildlife and water excursions, and stay for the galleries, beaches, and unhurried end-of-the-road feel. From the harbor docks to the mountains across the bay, it rewards a slow few days. It is wild, creative, and welcoming in every season on Kachemak Bay.
