The Fairbanks fleece, for the town that is the Golden Heart City under the northern lights. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Fairbanks vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the Fairbanks range: a real Columbia blank, embroidered to order, warm, light and fast-drying. It is the jacket for early mornings, the sideline and the drive home, and the Fairbanks gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

Trusted outdoor quality meets personalized design: an authentic Columbia fleece jacket blank in soft, warm MTR fleece, custom embroidered to order with our vintage-retro logo on the chest. The lightweight full-zip (~7.4 oz/yd² MTR-style filament fleece) has an athletic, easy-layering fit, a stand collar, and clean lines that pair with everything, and it delivers dependable insulation for cool days while drying fast and moving comfortably. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean.

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. 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.

More From Fairbanks Alaska

All Fairbanks Alaska Items

Our Fairbanks logo carries the distressed Alaska bear above "Alaska Territory — Est. 1959," the shared retro emblem of our Alaska towns; the bear stands for the wild Interior country the gold-seekers pushed into, and 1959 marks the year Alaska joined the Union as a state. Rendered in worn black-and-white, like a stamp on a miner's crate or an outfitter's sign, it ties Fairbanks to every other Alaska town we make. What makes this one Fairbanks is the story behind the brand — the grounded riverboat, the gold strike, and the city that grew up golden-hearted under the northern lights.

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.
