The Juneau baby bodysuit, for the town that is the capital no road can reach. Soft fine jersey with the Juneau 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 Juneau piece most often bought for someone else.

Light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey keeps this unisex infant bodysuit soft and breathable. Side seams and ribbed binding add durability, and the snap crotch is secure and quick for changes. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton, while heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

On October 18, 1880, after Tlingit Chief Kowee led them to gold in Silver Bow Basin, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris staked a townsite on Gastineau Channel, the first town founded in Alaska after the purchase from Russia; the miners voted the name Juneau in 1881 and the Treadwell mine opened on Douglas Island in 1882.

Congress moved the capital here from Sitka in 1900, effective 1906, and the 1931 Capitol stands on columns of Tokeen marble. Mount Juneau looms 3,576 feet over downtown, the Mendenhall Glacier lies twelve miles out, and no road connects the city to the rest of the continent. The capital you reach by sea or air 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.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

North of town, the ice does the advertising. Mendenhall Glacier flows thirteen miles down from the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield to a lake dotted with bergs, with Nugget Falls thundering beside it — close enough to walk to from a visitor center that was, in 1962, the first the U.S. Forest Service ever built. The glacier is retreating, and the blue ice caves that form and collapse along its edge have become their own pilgrimage. South of town, Tracy Arm's fjord walls and tidewater glaciers make the day-boat run; overhead, flightseeing planes trace the icefield itself.

Today Juneau is the capital you have to earn — no highway delivers you; you fly the panhandle or sail the channel, and arrive in a town where the legislature and the glacier share a zip code. Its story runs from Dzántik'i Héeni through Kowee's tip, the Treadwell thunder, and the 1906 move to the roadless capital of the forty-ninth state. Wear a little of the capital that keeps its own company.

Why People Visit Juneau Alaska

  • Walk to the ice at Mendenhall Glacier — visitor center, Nugget Falls trail, and berg-dotted Mendenhall Lake, with guided treks and the ever-shifting ice caves for the ambitious.
  • Ride the Mount Roberts Tramway from the cruise docks to the alpine, then hike higher.
  • Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord's tidewater glaciers, or go whale watching on Stephens Passage and Auke Bay — summer humpbacks are close to a guarantee.
  • Tour the Alaska State Capitol, pass the 1912 Governor's Mansion, and visit the Alaska State Museum and the 1894 St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church.
  • Hike Perseverance Trail up Gold Creek past the mining ruins, or cross to Douglas Island for the Treadwell remains and Eaglecrest.
  • See the salmon run at Macaulay Salmon Hatchery, find quiet at the Shrine of St. Thérèse, and end at the Red Dog Saloon.
  • Fly the Juneau Icefield — flightseeing over 1,500 square miles of ice.
