The Fairbanks tank, for the town that is the Golden Heart City under the northern lights. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Fairbanks vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Fairbanks 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.

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

Captain E.T. Barnette’s riverboat ran aground on the Chena in August 1901 and he set up a trading post where it stopped; Felix Pedro struck gold on July 22, 1902, and the Fairbanks Gold Rush was on. The city incorporated in 1903, named for Theodore Roosevelt’s vice president, and the railroad arrived in 1923.

Pioneer Park keeps the gold-rush cabins and the sternwheeler Nenana, Gold Dredge 8 still stands, and the city sits under the auroral oval, one of the best places on Earth to watch the northern lights through winters of forty below and summers of midnight sun. The hub of the Interior 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.

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 it brought was gold. On July 22, 1902, an Italian prospector named Felix Pedro — born Felice Pedroni — struck pay dirt in the creeks north of Barnette's post, and word raced through the North. Barnette sent his employee Jujiro Wada to carry the news to the miners of Dawson, and the stampede was on; by 1903 hundreds of prospectors had poured into the Tanana Valley and a town was rising on the Chena. Barnette had already chosen the name: at the urging of Judge James Wickersham, he called the place Fairbanks, after Charles W. Fairbanks, a powerful Indiana senator who would soon become vice president under Theodore Roosevelt. The senator never visited, but his name stuck to the gold camp for good.

So Fairbanks gathers a stranded steamboat, a gold strike, and a sky full of aurora onto the banks of the Chena, in the heart of Alaska. Our Fairbanks designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Under the northern lights — Fairbanks, Alaska.

Why People Visit Fairbanks

Visitors come to Fairbanks for the aurora — the city's spot under the auroral oval is hard to beat — and stay for the layered Interior story: gold dredges and frontier cabins, a northern university and big-sky wilderness in every direction. It is the gateway to Denali and the Arctic, with hot springs and ice art for the winter and the Midnight Sun for the summer. Equal parts gold-rush heritage and far-north spectacle, Fairbanks rewards anyone drawn to the heart of Alaska.
