The Anchorage cap, for the town that is wedged between the tide and the mountains. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Anchorage vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Anchorage 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.

Anchorage began in 1915 as the tent-city headquarters for building the Alaska Railroad, on a shelf of land between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains, and incorporated in 1920. The Good Friday earthquake of March 27, 1964, magnitude 9.2, tore apart Turnagain Heights, and the 1968 Prudhoe Bay discovery and the 1977 pipeline made it the state’s economic center.

About forty percent of Alaskans live here, the airport is one of the busiest cargo hubs in the world by its great-circle position between continents, the Iditarod’s ceremonial start runs down Fourth Avenue, and one of the largest tidal ranges on earth pushes a bore tide up Turnagain Arm. Alaska’s front door is the mark on this piece.

All Anchorage Alaska Items

Anchorage's story, though, begins long before the runways. The Dena'ina Athabascan people lived along Cook Inlet for centuries, fishing its waters and moving with the seasons across a homeland that reached from the tideflats to the mountains. The modern city is much younger. In 1915 the federal government chose the flat bench above Ship Creek as the construction headquarters for the new Alaska Railroad, and a tent city went up almost overnight. That summer the government auctioned town lots, laying out the downtown grid that survives today, and within five years the camp had become an incorporated town. Anchorage was, from the first, a place built to move people and freight.

It is a city wedged between water and rock. Anchorage occupies a narrow coastal shelf between the two arms of Cook Inlet — Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm — with the steep wall of the Chugach Mountains rising directly behind downtown. The inlet carries one of the largest tidal ranges in North America, and on Turnagain Arm a bore tide can roll in as a single visible wave, chased by surfers and photographers. Behind the city, Chugach State Park spreads across nearly half a million acres, one of the largest state parks in the country, so that moose wander the bike paths and the peaks stay snow-streaked into summer. Few cities of its size sit so completely inside their own wilderness.

Why People Visit Anchorage

Anchorage offers Alaska in one place — a real city with museums, trails, and good food, set inside the scenery most people come north to see. Visitors come for the mountains and the inlet, the wildlife and the long summer light, and stay for the easy access to everything beyond. From the coastal trail to the Chugach, it rewards a day or a week. It is rugged, scenic, and genuinely Alaska.
