The Petersburg premium crewneck, for the town that is Alaska’s Little Norway. A 9.9 oz cotton-rich sweatshirt with a smooth face and the Petersburg vintage retro logo on the chest in black.

This is the softer, heavier of our two Petersburg crewnecks, the one that becomes the three-days-a-week sweatshirt from October on. Smooth face, rich print, no scratchy tag. If you want the sweatshirt that feels like a favorite on day one, this is it; order now for cold weather and holiday giving.

Medium-heavy 9.9 oz fabric, 80% cotton and 20% polyester, gives this unisex crewneck a substantial feel without the weight. The smooth cotton-rich surface takes our retro artwork in rich detail; ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape hold the shape wash after wash; a tear-away label means no scratchy tag. True to size, machine washable, and ethically printed on demand — the one you'll reach for first.

In 1897 a Norwegian fisherman named Peter Buschmann found a deep-water narrows, a glacier full of clean ice and water thick with salmon and halibut, and built a cannery at the north end of the Wrangell Narrows that drew a whole community of Norwegian fishermen after him. The town incorporated on April 20, 1910.

The 1912 Sons of Norway Hall stands on pilings in Sing Lee Alley, rosemaling decorates the storefronts, the cannery has run continuously since the founding, and LeConte, the southernmost tidewater glacier in North America, calves into the bay nearby. Little Norway on the Narrows is the mark on this piece.

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 Petersburg Alaska Items

Our Petersburg retro logo features the Alaska bear — a frontier emblem of the territorial north, rendered distressed in black-and-white with a hand-printed, crate-stamp feel that suits a town that has always packed fish out of its own harbor. The bear stands square, walking the shore the way a working bear actually walks, and the "Alaska Territory" framing and "Est. 1959" date together honor the long frontier era and the statehood that finally followed it. On a tee, a cap, or a wall print, the bear reads as what Petersburg actually is: a working Alaska fishing town that built its own hall, raised its own children on the waterfront, and never gave the Norwegian language up.

Today Petersburg keeps the largest home-based halibut fleet in Alaska, the 1912 Sons of Norway Hall in continuous use, the Little Norway Festival every mid-May, the Tlingit petroglyphs at Sandy Beach still readable in the right light, and a population of about three thousand who still mostly know each other. Our Petersburg designs gather that identity into wearable form: the bear, the harbor, the Narrows, the Norwegian heritage, the LeConte ice. Explore the collection and carry a little of Alaska's Little Norway with you.

Why People Visit Petersburg Alaska

Petersburg is the rare Alaska town where the heritage is real and the working harbor is still working. Visitors come for Alaska's Little Norway — the 1912 Sons of Norway Hall, the rosemaling, the Little Norway Festival, the Norwegian-American fishing-town identity that hasn't softened into a souvenir. They come for the Wrangell Narrows and the boat day to LeConte Glacier. They come for the largest home-based halibut fleet in Alaska tied up at the harbor a block from downtown. And they come because Petersburg is what a working Southeast Alaska town looks like when the cannery has never stopped running and the locals still mostly know each other. It is compact, walkable, Norwegian, working, and unmistakably Alaska.
