The Kenai heavy crewneck, for the town that has onion domes on the bluff above the Kenai River. A classic 50/50 fleece sweatshirt with the Kenai vintage retro logo on the chest in white: the plain, durable one.

Choose this crewneck for durability and price: classic fit, ribbed collar and cuffs, a fleece that shrugs off years of washing. It is the Kenai sweatshirt to buy in twos, one for home and one for the person who grew up there, and it ships free in the U.S.

Warm, durable, and classic in fit: a unisex crewneck sweatshirt in medium-heavy 8.0 oz fleece (50% cotton/50% polyester; Heather Sport 60/40). Ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband, double-needle seams, tear-away label, and a DTG-printed design. White may appear off-white and Orange hue may vary.

The Dena’ina village of Shk’ituk’t stood at the mouth of the Kenai River around 1000 AD; Russian fur traders built Fort St. Nicholas here in 1791, the second permanent Russian settlement in Alaska, and the Americans built Fort Kenay in 1869. The city incorporated in 1960.

The blue-domed Holy Assumption church of 1894–96 is the oldest standing Russian Orthodox church in Alaska, the 1881 rectory is the oldest building on the peninsula, and the bluff looks across Cook Inlet to the volcanoes Redoubt, Iliamna and Spurr, with the king-salmon river at its feet. Old-world Alaska 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.

Who makes this?

All Kenai Alaska Items

Salmon built the town and still runs it. Long before the rigs, Cook Inlet canneries packed Kenai reds by the case, and every July the personal-use dipnet fishery turns the river mouth into one of the busiest beaches in Alaska — families with long-handled nets, coolers, and wall tents taking home a winter's worth of fish in a few tide cycles. It is part festival and part harvest, and about as old as the village itself; the salmon that drew the Dena'ina to Shk'ituk't still draw the whole road system south every summer.

What's with Old Town? On a bluff above the mouth of the Kenai River, where the water meets Cook Inlet, stands the oldest piece of Russian Alaska still in use: a white church with blue onion domes, a little log chapel, and the ground where a Russian fort stood in 1791. This is Old Town Kenai, and it holds the longest memory on the peninsula — Dena'ina, Russian, and American, stacked on one windy bluff above the salmon river.

Why People Visit Kenai

Kenai pairs deep history with wide-open Alaska — a living Russian-era church, a salmon river that sets the summer's rhythm, and the long view across Cook Inlet to the mountains. It's accessible, working, and real: a Last-Frontier town that kept its old bones.
