The Illinois Collection

Illinois's waterways are a blend of urban energy and natural beauty. From the iconic skyline along the Chicago River to the tranquil stretches of the Illinois River, these waters have long been integral to the state's identity, offering recreation, commerce, and a sense of place for generations.

Our Illinois Collection pays tribute to these significant waterways. Each piece—be it a shirt, hoodie, or accessory—features authentic NOAA chart patterns, meticulously designed to capture the unique character of Illinois's coastal and inland regions. Whether you're reminiscing about a summer spent sailing on Lake Michigan or reflecting on the rich history along the Illinois River, our apparel serves as a wearable reminder of the places that hold a special place in your heart.

As a small, independent family business based in Michigan, we craft each design one at a time, often inspired by customer requests. This personalized approach ensures that every item resonates with authenticity and care. Our shirts have become popular gifts, offering a meaningful way to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or simply to share a piece of Illinois's waterways with someone special.

We also offer customization options for yacht clubs, marinas, regattas, and fishing tournaments, seamlessly integrating logos or event artwork into the chart designs—eliminating the need for additional embroidery. This service allows organizations to showcase their identity while honoring the unique waterways that define their community.

Explore our Illinois Collection and discover apparel that not only looks great but also tells a story—your story.
