why we love The Maine Collection
Maine's coastline is a rugged masterpiece of granite cliffs, evergreen forests, and storied harbors. From the iconic Portland Head Light to the tranquil coves of Mount Desert Island, the state's maritime heritage is woven into every inlet and island.Whether you're navigating the bustling waters of Casco Bay, exploring the serene beauty of Penobscot Bay, or enjoying the charm of Bar Harbor, Maine offers a unique blend of natural beauty and nautical tradition.
At Top Deck Gear, our Maine Collection pays tribute to these cherished locales. 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 Maine's coastal regions. From the intricate inlets of Casco Bay to the open waters surrounding Mount Desert Island, 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 Maine'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 Maine Collection and discover apparel that not only looks great but also tells a story—your story.
