The Wasilla baby bodysuit, for the town that is mile zero of the Last Great Race. Soft fine jersey with the Wasilla 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 Wasilla 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.

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.

All Wasilla Alaska Items

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.

The Dena'ina Athabascan people lived in this valley long before the railroad, and the town still carries one of their names: Wasilla comes from Chief Wasilla, a Dena'ina leader of the Knik country. For decades the trading post at Knik was the region's supply hub — until 1915, when Anchorage was founded and the new Alaska Railroad pushed north. In 1917 the line crossed the wagon road to the Willow Creek gold mines, a townsite was platted on the high ground between Wasilla Lake and Lake Lucille, and its lots were auctioned that June. Knik emptied out — some residents are said to have dragged their houses to the new town — and Wasilla rose in its place as the “Gateway to the Willow Creek Mining District.” For its first decades the town lived on that gold, the freight-transfer point between the railroad cars and the mine roads.

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.
