The Skagway hoodie, for the town that was the gateway to the Klondike. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Skagway vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Skagway piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Skagway, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

A medium-heavy fleece pullover hoodie built for warmth that lasts. The regular, true-to-size adult fit comes with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching where it counts, plus a tear-away label. 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather shades may be cotton–poly blends.

Captain William Moore opened the trail on July 14, 1897, just as the Ton of Gold ships reached Seattle, and 40,000 stampeders poured through over the Chilkoot and White Pass trails in 1897–98. Soapy Smith and Frank Reid shot it out on July 8, 1898, the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad was built from 1898, and the city incorporated on June 28, 1900.

Seven blocks of false-front gold-rush buildings on Broadway are the most-visited national park in Alaska, the Red Onion has poured since 1898, the Arctic Brotherhood Hall wears its driftwood mosaic, and the narrow-gauge train still climbs the pass at the head of the Lynn Canal. The Trail of ’98 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.

All Skagway Alaska Items

Skagway voted to incorporate on June 28, 1900 — the first incorporated city in Alaska, beating Juneau to it by a single day — with a census population of 3,117. Then the gold was gone. By 1910 fewer than 900 people remained, and for half a century Skagway lived quietly off the railroad, hauling freight to Whitehorse and back. What saved it was its own past: the false-front downtown had never been torn down, and as Alaska tourism grew, travelers came specifically to walk a Gold-Rush street that looked almost exactly as it had in 1898.

In 1976 Congress made it official, establishing the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park around the preserved blocks of Broadway — wooden boardwalks, restored 1898 storefronts, and the old railroad depot — now the most-visited national park in Alaska. The cruise ships followed. Tucked at the head of a deep glacial fjord and ringed by steep peaks, Skagway is one of the busiest ports on the Inside Passage, with more than a million day-visitors a season stepping off onto the same waterfront the stampeders once crossed. It is a gold-rush boomtown that found its second fortune in being remembered.

Why People Visit Skagway

Visitors come to Skagway for the most intact Gold-Rush town in Alaska — a real boomtown you can walk through — and for the railway that climbs straight out of it into the mountains. It is compact, dramatic, and easy to explore on foot, with the harbor, the historic district, and the trailheads all close together. Equal parts living history and big northern scenery, Skagway rewards anyone who wants to stand at the starting line of the Klondike stampede.
