The Minnesota Collection

Minnesota’s waterways are a testament to the state's rich natural heritage and deep-rooted connection to the outdoors.From the rugged cliffs of Lake Superior's North Shore to the serene expanse of Lake of the Woods, these waters have long been integral to Minnesota's identity. Whether you're navigating the intricate channels of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness or enjoying the vibrant boating culture of Lake Minnetonka, each locale offers its own unique charm and significance.

Our Minnesota Collection at Top Deck Gear pays tribute to these cherished waterways. Each garment features authentic NOAA chart patterns, meticulously designed to capture the unique character of Minnesota's coastal and inland regions.From the dynamic currents of Duluth Harbor to the tranquil beauty of the Mississippi River headwaters at Lake Itasca, 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 Minnesota'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.
