why we love The Indiana Collection
Indiana’s waterways tell a story of quiet strength and enduring connection. From the sandy shores of Lake Michigan in the north to the winding path of the Ohio River in the south, the state’s aquatic landscapes have long been integral to its identity. The Wabash River, designated as Indiana’s state river, meanders through the heartland, offering serene vistas and a glimpse into the state's rich history.
At Top Deck Gear, our Indiana Collection pays homage to these cherished waterways. Each garment—be it a Coconut Button Camp Shirt or a Long Sleeve Performance Tee—features authentic NOAA chart patterns, meticulously designed to capture the unique character of Indiana's rivers and lakes. From the dynamic currents of the Ohio River to the tranquil beauty of the Wabash, 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 Indiana'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 Indiana Collection and discover apparel that not only looks great but also tells a story—your story.
