The Wasilla cap, for the town that is mile zero of the Last Great Race. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Wasilla vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Wasilla 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.

This unisex dad cap is made from breathable cotton in a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel shape with a Permacurv visor. A self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle adjusts the fit, and a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching add durability. The embroidered finish is classic and vintage-inspired. All colors 100% cotton; camo is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — see our Embroidery footer for full details.

Wasilla was founded in 1917 as a station on the Alaska Railroad where the Mat-Su Valley opens toward Denali, on the old Knik and Iditarod trail that carried gold-rush mail and freight. The 1917 one-room schoolhouse still stands in the Historic Town Site Park, and the city incorporated in 1974.

The first full Anchorage-to-Nome Iditarod ran in 1973, and the race’s log-cabin headquarters and museum sit here on Knik-Goose Bay Road. Lake Lucille and Wasilla Lake lie in town, the Talkeetna and Chugach ranges ring the valley, and Denali shows on clear days. Where the trail to Nome begins 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.

More From Wasilla Alaska

All Wasilla Alaska Items

Today Wasilla is a Mat-Su Valley hub — a railroad-and-mining town turned valley gateway, with lakes in town and the Alaska Range on the horizon. Our Wasilla designs gather that identity — the bear-and-1959 emblem, the Mat-Su Valley, and the trail to Nome — into wearable form. Wasilla, Alaska — where the trail to Nome begins, in the heart of the Mat-Su Valley.

The valley the railroad built is a country of water and machines. Wasilla Lake and Lake Lucille sit right in town, busy with floatplanes and fishing boats in the long summer light, and the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry gathers the locomotives, bush planes, and pioneer gear that opened the north — a fitting keeper for a town the railroad made.

Why People Visit Wasilla

Wasilla balances Alaska heritage with easygoing valley life — lakeside walks, broad mountain scenery, and the deep history of the long trail north. It's accessible, relaxed, and a practical base for exploring the Mat-Su Valley and Southcentral Alaska.
