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 white 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.

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.

Then, on Good Friday in 1964, the ground itself moved. The Great Alaska Earthquake measured magnitude 9.2 — the most powerful ever recorded in North America and the second-largest measured anywhere on earth. It shook for several minutes, dropping a stretch of Fourth Avenue and carrying part of the Turnagain neighborhood toward the inlet. The city rebuilt with remarkable speed, and the quake became part of Anchorage's identity rather than the end of its story — a reminder that this is a place built on a young and restless coast, where the land is as much a character as the people who settled it.

Today Anchorage is Alaska's front door — the city most travelers pass through on the way to Denali, the Kenai Peninsula, or Seward, and the place where nearly half the state actually lives. Each March the Iditarod's ceremonial start sends sled teams down Fourth Avenue before the real race restarts to the north, and in late winter the Fur Rendezvous fills downtown. Our Anchorage designs gather that identity into wearable form — the bear, the mountains, and the inlet. Anchorage, Alaska: between the tide and the mountains, at the top of the world.

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.
