This is our retro Kodiak, Alaska logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

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.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.

All Kodiak Alaska Items

What's with Kodiak? Kodiak is Alaska's Emerald Isle — first capital of Russian Alaska, home port of a huge fishing fleet, and the only home of Earth's biggest brown bears. It sits on Chiniak Bay at the edge of Alaska's largest island — the second-largest in the United States — green under near-constant cloud, ten hours by ferry from the road system and perfectly content about it.

The twentieth century tested the town twice. In June 1912 the Novarupta eruption — the largest of the century, across Shelikof Strait near Mount Katmai — buried Kodiak under a foot and a half of ash and turned midday to midnight for three days. Then on March 27, 1964, the Good Friday earthquake — magnitude 9.2, the strongest ever recorded in North America — sent tsunamis through the harbor that carried the fishing fleet into the streets and destroyed most of downtown. Kodiak rebuilt both times, faster than anyone expected, and the working waterfront you see today is the answer the town gave.

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.
