The Kodiak women’s fitted tee, for the town that was the first capital of Russian Alaska. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Kodiak vintage retro logo on the chest in black, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Kodiak shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Classic crewneck, slim contoured fit, longer body length: a women’s fitted t-shirt in soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey with side seams and a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

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.

All Kodiak Alaska Items

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.

The island's human story is one of the longest in Alaska. Alutiiq — Sugpiaq — people have lived on the Kodiak Archipelago for more than seven thousand years, masters of the skin kayak and the rich, rough water, and their descendants are here still: the Alutiiq Museum in town holds one of the deepest archaeological records in the state, and the city's own Alutiiq name, Sun'aq, is older than every other name it has carried. Vitus Bering's expedition sighted the island in 1741; the Russians who followed came for sea otter fur, and the century that followed was brutal for the people who had always lived here — a history the island tells plainly today.

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.
