The Wasilla tank, for the town that is mile zero of the Last Great Race. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Wasilla vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Wasilla 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.

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 gold thinned, but the valley kept growing. When the George Parks Highway opened around 1971, linking Anchorage to Denali and the interior straight through Wasilla, the town's fortunes turned: growth shifted from Palmer to Wasilla, and the Mat-Su became Alaska's fastest-growing region. Wasilla was incorporated as a city in 1974, and the old railroad stop became the valley's commercial hub on the highway between the city and the mountains — close enough that a good share of the town still drives the forty minutes south to Anchorage and back. Up the road, Hatcher Pass and the Independence Mine still mark the gold country that first drew people here.

Our Wasilla logo carries Alaska's bear over “Alaska Territory · Est. 1959,” the year Alaska became the forty-ninth state — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Alaska place. Printed in a distressed black-and-white that reads like an old outfitter's stamp, the bear is the Last Frontier in shorthand: rugged, wild, and at home in the cold. What makes this one Wasilla is the country behind it — the Mat-Su Valley, the lakes and ranges, and the trail that runs all the way to Nome.

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.
