The Wrangell tank, for the town that has flown three flags. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Wrangell vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Wrangell piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton gives this lightweight unisex tank its soft jersey feel. The retail fit runs true to size for adults, with side-seam construction, self-fabric binding, and a tear-away label. Solid colors are 100% cotton and select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Stikine Tlingit have lived at the mouth of the Stikine River for thousands of years and carved the petroglyphs on its beach. The Russians built Redoubt St. Dionysius here in 1834, the British leased it as Fort Stikine in 1840, and the Americans raised their flag over Fort Wrangell in 1867: the only Alaskan town ruled under three flags.

Gold rushes up the Stikine in 1861, 1872 and 1898 made it a boomtown, John Muir climbed Mount Dewey in 1879, and the Chief Shakes Tribal House stands with its totems on Shakes Island. The Stikine flats host the second-highest bald-eagle concentration in the world each spring. Three flags, one island, 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?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

Start with the river and the people. The Stikine pours out of the Coast Mountains into the islands of the Inside Passage, and the Stikine Tlingit built their life around it — fishing, trading inland, and carving the totems the town is still known for. When the Russians arrived to guard the fur trade, Chief Shakes moved the Tlingit village to Shakes Island in the heart of today's harbor, beside the new redoubt. The island was named, like the town, for Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel, the Russian-American Company governor. The Hudson's Bay Company soon leased the Stikine country and flew the British flag over Fort Stikine; the lease ran until 1867, when the United States bought Alaska and a year later raised a third flag over Fort Wrangell.

Today Wrangell is the quiet one — a working Alaska town the big ships mostly pass by, which is exactly its charm. Its days run on tides and salmon: jet-boat trips up the wild Stikine, low-tide walks among the petroglyphs, totems on Shakes Island, and bears at Anan in season. Our Wrangell designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Three flags, one river town.

Why People Visit Wrangell

Wrangell rewards the off-the-path traveler. It pairs living Tlingit culture with easy reach of the Stikine and bear country, and you can see totems, petroglyphs, and a working harbor in a single walkable day. It feels authentic, green, and quietly adventurous — an Alaska town that stayed itself — with year-round appeal in its trails, parks, and waterfront.
