This is our retro Sitka, Alaska logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

The Tlingit have lived on Baranof Island for ten thousand years and fought the Battle of Sitka against the Russians in 1804 under K’alyaán. New Archangel became the capital of Russian America in 1808, the Paris of the Pacific, and St. Michael’s Cathedral, the first Russian Orthodox cathedral in North America, was finished in 1848.

On October 18, 1867, on Castle Hill, the Russian flag came down and the American flag went up; Alaska Day is still kept every October 18. The 1842 Russian Bishop’s House survives, the cathedral’s onion dome was rebuilt after the 1966 fire, and Mount Edgecumbe’s snow-capped cone stands across the Sound. The capital of Russian America is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.

All Sitka Alaska Items

Alaska formally changed hands here: on October 18, 1867, the Russian flag came down and the American flag went up on Baranof Castle Hill. Alaska Day is observed every October 18.

The Tlingit have lived on this coast — Sheet'ká — for more than ten thousand years, and the Sheet'ká Kwáan remain a thriving culture in Sitka today.

Why People Visit Sitka Alaska

Sitka offers world-historical depth in a working Alaska fishing town — Tlingit heritage, Russian Imperial architecture, the birthplace of Alaska Day, old-growth coastal rainforest, totem poles, and a working harbor — all within a walkable downtown along the outer Pacific. Visitors combine cathedral and museum stops with rainforest trails, whale-watching, raptor rehabilitation tours, and the simple pleasure of standing on the hill where the flags changed in 1867. It is photogenic, walkable, and unlike any other town on the Alaska coast.
