The Kodiak cap, for the town that was the first capital of Russian Alaska. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Kodiak vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Kodiak piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

A breathable cotton dad cap with a classic, vintage-inspired embroidered finish. The unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit has a Permacurv visor, self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details in our Embroidery footer.

The Alutiiq have lived on these islands for at least seven thousand years. Alexander Baranov moved the Russian settlement to Paul’s Harbor in 1792 and Kodiak was the capital of Russian America until it moved to Sitka in 1804; the c.1808 Russian-American Company warehouse, built to hold sea-otter pelts, is the oldest Russian-era wooden building in Alaska.

Holy Resurrection Cathedral carries on the mission that brought Saint Herman here in 1794, the working harbor on Chiniak Bay is one of the busiest fishing ports in the country, and Kodiak Island, 3,588 square miles, is the second-largest island in the United States. The Emerald Isle is the mark on this piece.

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.

The faith the Russians brought outlasted the fur company. The Holy Resurrection parish, founded in 1794, is the oldest Russian Orthodox parish in North America, and its most beloved figure — the gentle monk Herman of Spruce Island, defender of the Alutiiq against the company's abuses — was canonized in Kodiak in 1970 as Saint Herman of Alaska, the first Orthodox saint of the Americas. His relics rest in the church downtown, and pilgrims still cross to Spruce Island every August.

Russian Alaska began here. In 1784, Grigory Shelikhov planted Russia's first permanent settlement in Alaska at Three Saints Bay, on the island's south end; in 1792, Alexander Baranov moved the post north to a deep, defensible harbor he named Pavlovskaya Gavan — Paul's Harbor — and made it the capital of Russian America's fur empire. Today's Kodiak grew straight from that harbor, and its Russian layer is the deepest in the state: the c. 1808 Russian-American Magazin, now the Baranov Museum, stands among the oldest Russian buildings in America.

Why People Visit Kodiak Alaska

Kodiak offers Alaska in concentrate — the deepest Russian heritage in the state, a 7,000-year Alutiiq homeland, a top American fishing port, and the only place on Earth to meet the Kodiak bear at home. People come for the bears and the fishing, and find the Emerald Isle: green, rain-washed, and genuinely wild ten minutes from town.
