The Eagle River tank, for the town that is the gateway to the Chugach. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Eagle River vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Eagle River 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.

Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton gives this lightweight unisex tank its soft jersey feel. The retail fit runs true to size for adults, with side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. Solid colors are 100% cotton and select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Dena’ina used this valley for thousands of years and Eklutna, eight centuries old, is the oldest village in the Anchorage area. Homesteaders arrived in the 1930s, the bases next door were built in 1939–43, and the community became part of the Municipality of Anchorage in 1975.

The river runs twenty-eight miles from Eagle Glacier to Knik Arm, fifteen minutes north of downtown Anchorage, and the town is the main gateway to Chugach State Park, 495,000 acres and the third-largest state park in the United States, with the Eagle River Nature Center its most-visited trailhead. The river that goes home through the mountains is the mark on this piece.

The river gives the valley its shape and its name. It begins as meltwater at the foot of Eagle Glacier, high in the Chugach, and runs some forty miles down through a steep glacial valley to Eagle Bay on Knik Arm, an arm of Cook Inlet. The Chugach front range walls the eastern edge of town, and Mount Baldy rises straight up behind the houses — a short, steep climb that locals treat as a backyard hike and that rewards you with the whole valley and the inlet laid out below. It is mountain country pressed right up against a neighborhood, and that closeness is the point.

Today Eagle River is the gateway community of the Chugach — a valley town set between Alaska's biggest city and its third-largest state park, with a glacier-fed river running through the middle of it and the mountains right out the back door. Its story runs from a Dena'ina homeland through a post-war homestead valley to a modern military-and-mountain town that never lost its wilderness edge. Our Eagle River designs gather that identity into wearable form — the bear-and-1959 emblem, the Chugach, and the gateway spirit. Eagle River, Alaska: where the city ends and the mountains begin.

Why People Visit Eagle River

Eagle River offers a rare balance: easy access to a real Alaskan city paired with immediate, serious wilderness. Visitors come for the Chugach trailheads, the glacier-fed river, and the big mountain scenery, all minutes from town, and they stay for how unhurried it feels compared with the highway towns. It is a genuine four-season valley — hiking and fishing in the long summer light, skiing and snow on the peaks deep into spring.
