The Lake Tahoe women’s fitted tee, for the lake that is Big Blue. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Lake Tahoe vintage retro logo on the chest in white, 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 Lake Tahoe shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey in a slim, contoured women’s fit with a longer body length and a classic crewneck. Side-seamed, with a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual, so consider sizing up. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

Daʔaw, the Washoe name for the lake, has been their sacred summer ground for more than ten thousand years. Frémont reached it in 1844, Mark Twain wrote it into Roughing It in 1861–62, and the Comstock logging boom of the 1860s and the lake steamers of the 1870s followed; the 1929 Scandinavian castle Vikingsholm stands at the head of Emerald Bay.

Glacier-carved and 1,645 feet deep at 6,225 feet of elevation, it is the highest large alpine lake in North America and one of the clearest, twenty-two miles long across the California–Nevada line, with Fannette its only island and the Truckee its only outlet. The 1960 Winter Olympics came to its shore. Big Blue is the mark on this piece.

More From Lake Tahoe California

All Lake Tahoe California Items

The twentieth century made Tahoe a playground. Steamers gave way to highways, lodges to ski resorts, and in 1960 the Winter Olympics came to nearby Olympic Valley — today Palisades Tahoe — launching the modern ski era that fills the basin every winter. Summer brought boating, hiking, and the beaches; winter brought the snow that lingers on the peaks into May. Through all of it, the clarity of the water became the thing worth protecting: the "Keep Tahoe Blue" conservation movement grew up to defend exactly the cobalt depth that made the lake famous. Big Blue is still, first and last, the lake itself.

Today Lake Tahoe is one of the West's great year-round destinations — winter ski and summer water, ringed by Sierra peaks. Its story blends ten thousand years of Washoe presence, a frontier of logging and steamers, a castle on Emerald Bay, an Olympic ski era, and a modern fight to keep the water blue. Our Tahoe designs gather that identity into wearable form — Big Blue, Emerald Bay, the Sierra shore. Explore the collection and carry a little of Big Blue with you.

Why People Visit Lake Tahoe California

Lake Tahoe draws people who love mountains and water in the same view. It is Big Blue — the highest, deepest, clearest alpine lake in the West — with a National Natural Landmark bay, a Scandinavian castle, a ten-thousand-year Washoe heritage, and ski slopes and beaches a few hours from the city. Visitors come for the rare combination: cobalt water you can see straight down into, granite peaks above it, and a shore that's beautiful in snow and sun alike.
