The Wrangell polo, for the town that has flown three flags. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Wrangell vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in black thread: hometown pride that passes at the office.

Choose the polo when a t-shirt is too casual and a logo too loud: the embroidered crest reads as a club mark, so it works for golf, a summer dinner or a workday. It is the Wrangell gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

Soft 100% ring-spun cotton pique (~5.2 oz/yd²), a semi-fitted side-seamed cut, and our vintage-retro logo embroidered on the chest make this a clean everyday polo for work, golf, or weekends. It has a classic 2-button placket with dyed-to-match buttons, breathes well in warm weather, and carries advanced fabric certification. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron decoration, no dry clean. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; the full details are in our Embroidery footer.

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.

All Wrangell Alaska Items

Through all of it the Tlingit presence never left. Out at the edge of town, Petroglyph Beach is scattered with spirals and faces pecked into the rock perhaps eight thousand years ago, easiest to read at low tide. A footbridge in the inner harbor leads to Chief Shakes Island and its tribal house, ringed by carved totems, and downriver at Anan Creek black and brown bears crowd an ancient Tlingit fishing site to take the summer salmon. The old stories and the old carvings are not behind glass here; they are part of the working town. Even the children carry a piece of it — they sell deep-red garnets at the dock, gathered from a ledge up the Stikine that was deeded long ago so Wrangell's kids could mine and sell the stones.

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.
