The Kodiak tank, for the town that was the first capital of Russian Alaska. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Kodiak vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Kodiak piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Built to hold its shape: a lightweight unisex tank in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey with side seams and self-fabric binding. Retail fit, true to size for adults, tear-away label. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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.

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?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

More From Kodiak Alaska

All Kodiak Alaska Items

The modern town wears three uniforms: fisherman's raingear, Coast Guard blue, and rocket-crew white. Base Kodiak is the largest Coast Guard installation in the United States, guarding the most dangerous fishing grounds in the country; the Pacific Spaceport Complex on Narrow Cape has launched rockets over the Gulf since 1998; and Fort Abercrombie's WWII gun emplacements stand in spruce and salmonberry above the sea cliffs, a state park now, remembering the war that first brought the military north.

Our Kodiak logo carries Alaska's distressed bear above "Est. 1959," the year of statehood — the shared retro emblem of our Alaska places, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old crate stamp. Nowhere does the bear mean more than here: on Kodiak it is not a motif but a neighbor. What makes this one Kodiak is everything around it — the Emerald Isle green, the Russian bells, the king crab, and the biggest bears alive.

Why People Visit Kodiak Alaska

  • Go bear viewing in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge — floatplane, boat, or guided hike to watch the biggest brown bears on Earth work a salmon stream.
  • Walk the Russian layer downtown: the Baranov Museum in the c. 1808 Magazin, the Holy Resurrection church and Saint Herman's relics, and the Alutiiq Museum's 7,000-year story.
  • Hike Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park — WWII gun emplacements in the spruce above the cliffs — and Pillar Mountain over town.
  • Fish the famous water: charters for halibut and salmon, the Buskin River run, and the harbor's forest of masts.
  • Ride out to Narrow Cape for the spaceport road, surf-watching, and buffalo on the hills.
  • Ferry or floatplane to the wild edges — Shuyak Island's kayak country and Spruce Island's pilgrim trail.
