The St. Helena hoodie, for the town that is Napa Valley’s Main Street. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the St. Helena 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 St. Helena 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 St. Helena, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Unisex pullover hoodie made from a medium-heavy fleece for warmth and durability. Regular fit with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching at key seams; tear-away label. Runs true to size for adults. Fabric is 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather colors may use cotton–poly blends.

Settlers opened a store here in the 1850s, Dr. Crane identified the soils in 1859 and Charles Krug made the valley’s pioneering commercial vintage in 1861. The town incorporated in 1876, the same year Beringer was founded; Robert Louis Stevenson spent his 1880 honeymoon in the valley, and the Rhine House of 1884 and the stone Greystone Cellars of 1888 came out of the Gilded Age.

Half a mile of Victorian storefronts anchors Main Street, the Bale Grist Mill stands north of town, and the dormant volcano of Mount St. Helena rises 4,341 feet over the upper valley floor between the Mayacamas and the Vacas. Napa Valley’s Main Street 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.

Who makes this?

The mountain's literary ghost is Robert Louis Stevenson. In the summer of 1880, broke and newly married, the young Scottish writer spent his honeymoon squatting in an abandoned miners' bunkhouse on the slopes of Mount St. Helena, at the played-out Silverado mine. He wrote the months up in The Silverado Squatters, and it was there, tasting the valley's young wines, that he set down the line wine country has quoted ever since — that wine is "bottled poetry." The peak and a state park on its flank both carry his memory today.

Today St. Helena is the quiet heart of the Napa Valley — a stone-built wine town between the Mayacamas and the Vacas, under the mountain that gave it its name. Its story runs from a Wappo homeland through a farm town's beginnings to the center of California wine, with Robert Louis Stevenson and a big red waterwheel along the way. Our St. Helena designs gather that identity into wearable form — the bear-and-1850 emblem, the mountain, and the vines. St. Helena, California: bottled poetry, worn plain.

Why People Visit St Helena

St. Helena offers Napa Valley at its most walkable and unhurried — a real town in the middle of the vineyards, with deep wine heritage, a literary past, and the mountain overhead. Visitors come for the tasting country and the scenery and stay for the small-town stone streets and the easy pace. It is refined without being precious, and beautiful in every season.
