This is our retro Juneau, Alaska logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.

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.

Who makes this?

Our Juneau logo carries Alaska's distressed bear above "Est. 1959," the year of statehood — the shared retro emblem of our Alaska places, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old cannery crate stamp. The bear is the through-line that links Juneau to every other Alaska town we make; what makes this one Juneau is everything around it — the roadless capital, Kowee's creek, the drowned mine, and the ice.

Government arrived while the stamps were still falling. In 1906 the capital of the District of Alaska moved from Sitka — the old Russian capital — to booming Juneau; the Governor's Mansion rose in 1912, the first territorial legislature met here in 1913, and the marble-columned Capitol opened in 1931. When statehood came on January 3, 1959, Juneau became a state capital — still without a road to anywhere, a distinction it keeps on purpose and by geography alike.

Why People Visit Juneau Alaska

Juneau is the capital of Alaska as a civic destination and a wilderness port in one — the only U.S. state capital with no road access, the 1931 Capitol, a walk-to glacier, whales in the channel, and gold-rush ruins on the mountainside. People come by ship and plane for the ice and the whales, and find a small stubborn capital that likes being hard to reach.
