The Kodiak thank you cards, for the town that was the first capital of Russian Alaska. Thick-stock cards with the Kodiak vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

Share your gratitude on premium thick 270gsm card stock printed with our retro logo design. These durable, stylish thank you cards come in matte, uncoated, or coated finishes, two convenient sizes, and a choice of count packs, with envelopes included in every set. Printed on the front; blank inside and on the rear for any occasion.

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.

More From Kodiak Alaska

All Kodiak Alaska Items

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.

Today Kodiak is Alaska in concentrate — a seven-thousand-year Alutiiq homeland, the first capital of Russian Alaska, a top American fishing port, the Coast Guard's largest base, and bear country without apology. Its story runs from Sun'aq through Three Saints Bay and Paul's Harbor, ash and tsunami, to the harbor forest of masts. Wear a little of the Emerald Isle.

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.
