The Sacramento heavy crewneck, for the town that is the City of Trees where the Gold Rush got its supplies. A classic 50/50 fleece sweatshirt with the Sacramento vintage retro logo on the chest in black: the plain, durable one.

Choose this crewneck for durability and price: classic fit, ribbed collar and cuffs, a fleece that shrugs off years of washing. It is the Sacramento sweatshirt to buy in twos, one for home and one for the person who grew up there, and it ships free in the U.S.

Our unisex heavy crewneck pairs medium-heavy fleece with a classic fit for everyday warmth and durability. It has a ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband, double-needle seams, a tear-away label, and a DTG print. Standard 8.0 oz 50% cotton/50% polyester; Heather Sport 60/40. White may appear off-white; Orange hue may vary.

John Sutter built his fort at New Helvetia in 1839, James Marshall’s gold strike at nearby Coloma on January 24, 1848, set off the Rush, and Sutter’s son laid out the city at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers that December. It incorporated on February 27, 1850, the oldest incorporated city in California, and became the state capital in 1854.

The Pony Express ended here from 1860, the First Transcontinental Railroad began here in 1863, and after the floods of 1849 and 1862 the streets were raised, leaving Old Sacramento’s Gold Rush buildings with an underground. The neoclassical Capitol rose in 1869–74 and the gold Tower Bridge in 1935. The City of Trees 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.

The gold itself was found upriver. In January 1848 James Marshall spotted flakes in the tailrace of a sawmill at Coloma, and within a year the world arrived. Sacramento, sitting at the head of river navigation where the goldfields met the water, became the great supply hub of the Rush — the Embarcadero port, the wholesale houses, the wagon roads up into the Sierra. The city was platted at the end of 1848 and incorporated in 1850, the oldest incorporated city in California, a boomtown built to outfit a gold rush.

The Pony Express made Sacramento famous for eighteen months. The relay reached its western end at the J Street terminus and the B.F. Hastings Building, and a tired rider clattering in off the plains was the closest thing the 1860 West had to instant news. On October 24, 1861, the transcontinental telegraph line was joined, and two days later the Pony Express folded — wire could now carry a message coast to coast in minutes. Frontier ambition outpaced by faster technology: the pattern that would run through the whole of Sacramento's story.

Why People Visit Sacramento

Sacramento rewards travelers who want history, rivers, and shade rather than a beach — the Gold-Rush waterfront, the railroad that started here, the capitol, and a walkable grid under a famous tree canopy. People come for Old Sacramento and the Railroad Museum, for the Capitol and the gold bridge, and for an easy California day where frontier history and a leafy capital city sit side by side at the meeting of two rivers.
