Alaskan Outdoor Wearhouse

About Alaskan Outdoor Wearhouse

Capital Embroidery has provided embroidery services in Juneau, Alaska, for over a decade. The business has operated from several locations—downtown, then Lemon Creek—before settling in the Mendenhall Mall. Current owner Shane Walker expanded the operation to include a retail arm, Alaskan Outdoor Wearhouse & Embroidery (AOWE), which sells outdoor apparel and gear alongside the embellishment services. The company offers custom embroidery and screen printing, handling orders ranging from single-name left-chest designs to large corporate logos on the backs of jackets and hoodies. Screen printing is offered as an alternative for lighter items or when waterproofing must be preserved. In addition to embellishment, AOWE stocks a range of outerwear, footwear, and accessories from vendors such as Western Chief, Wanakome, Oakiwear, and Prison Blues. Garments can be sourced through the distributor Sanmar, or customers may supply their own items after signing a waiver. Customers include Alaska residents and businesses across the state. The shop has produced boat-themed embroidery for marine operators and corporate apparel for companies needing branded jackets. The retail side caters to outdoor enthusiasts seeking rainwear, boots, and cold-weather gear. The business positions itself as a flexible local partner, offering both decoration and garment procurement under one roof. In 2023, Capital Embroidery & AOWE earned a silver award in the Best of Juneau competition.
