The Juneau tank, for the town that is the capital no road can reach. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Juneau vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Juneau piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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.

The founding took a guide. In 1880, Chief Kowee of the A'akw Kwáan led prospectors Joe Juneau and Richard Harris up Gold Creek to the color they had failed to find on their own, and the camp that sprang up that October is often called the first new town founded in Alaska after the purchase. It nearly carried a different name — Harrisburg, then Rockwell — before the miners voted in 1881 to call it Juneau. Kowee's reward was smaller than his part deserved, and the town has spent a century restoring his name to the story.

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

  • 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.
