The Barrow women’s fitted tee, for the town that is the northernmost city in the United States. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Barrow vintage retro logo on the chest in black, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Barrow shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Lightweight ringspun cotton jersey gives this women’s fitted tee its soft feel. The cut is slim and contoured with a longer body length and a classic crewneck, built with side seams and a tear-away label; it runs smaller than usual. Solids are 100% cotton and select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

Utqiaġvik, the Iñupiaq name restored by referendum in 2016, sits at 71°17′ north, 320 miles above the Arctic Circle, with the Chukchi Sea on one side and the Beaufort on the other. The Iñupiat have lived here for more than 1,500 years, since the Thule culture built the whalebone-and-driftwood mounds of the Birnirk site around 500 CE, and they still hunt the bowhead whale.

The British Admiralty named it for Sir John Barrow, who never visited; Charles Brower’s Cape Smythe whaling station of the 1880s still stands in Browerville, and the whalebone arch frames the sea. The sun does not rise for about 65 days in winter and does not set for about 80 in summer. The top of America 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.
