The Sitka cap, for the town that is where Russia met America in 1867. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Sitka vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Sitka piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

An unstructured 6-panel dad cap with a low-profile fit and Permacurv visor, embroidered with our classic vintage-inspired finish. Breathable cotton, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are in our Embroidery footer.

The Tlingit have lived on Baranof Island for ten thousand years and fought the Battle of Sitka against the Russians in 1804 under K’alyaán. New Archangel became the capital of Russian America in 1808, the Paris of the Pacific, and St. Michael’s Cathedral, the first Russian Orthodox cathedral in North America, was finished in 1848.

On October 18, 1867, on Castle Hill, the Russian flag came down and the American flag went up; Alaska Day is still kept every October 18. The 1842 Russian Bishop’s House survives, the cathedral’s onion dome was rebuilt after the 1966 fire, and Mount Edgecumbe’s snow-capped cone stands across the Sound. The capital of Russian America 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.

All Sitka Alaska Items

Sitka National Historical Park (1910) — Alaska's oldest federally designated park — preserves the 1804 battle site, where a totem honors K'alyaán, who led the Kiks.ádi Tlingit defense.

The Tlingit have lived on this coast — Sheet'ká — for more than ten thousand years, and the Sheet'ká Kwáan remain a thriving culture in Sitka today.

Why People Visit Sitka Alaska

Sitka offers world-historical depth in a working Alaska fishing town — Tlingit heritage, Russian Imperial architecture, the birthplace of Alaska Day, old-growth coastal rainforest, totem poles, and a working harbor — all within a walkable downtown along the outer Pacific. Visitors combine cathedral and museum stops with rainforest trails, whale-watching, raptor rehabilitation tours, and the simple pleasure of standing on the hill where the flags changed in 1867. It is photogenic, walkable, and unlike any other town on the Alaska coast.
