Top 5 Women's Tops from the Lodge 49 Store
1. The Orbis Tee
- Best for: Daily wear, layering, casual offices
- Fabric: 50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon triblend
- Fit: Semi-fitted, crew neck
This is my top pick for a reason. The triblend fabric is incredibly soft - it feels broken-in from day one. The Orbis symbol is printed in a tone-on-tone color that's barely visible from across the room, but close up, fellow fans will nod. I've seen it paired with jeans, tucked into skirts, even worn under a blazer. Sizes XS-3XL, though I recommend sizing up if you prefer a looser fit. At $28-$32, it's the best value in the store.
2. The PA-19 Tank
- Best for: Summer, layering under cardigans, workouts
- Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, 4.3 oz
- Fit: Relaxed, racerback
For hot days or gym sessions, this tank delivers. The screen-printed design (the PA-19 chemical formula) is water-based, so it won't crack after a few washes. I like that the straps are wide enough to cover bra straps - a small detail that makes a big difference. One caveat: the white version is slightly sheer, so wear a nude or black cami underneath.
3. The Sea Captain's Sweater
- Best for: Fall layering, casual Fridays, gifting
- Fabric: Acrylic and polyester blend, cable knit
- Fit: Relaxed, drop shoulder
This sweater is a conversation starter. The embroidered anchor on the chest is small but precise - taken from Captain's uniform in the show. It's not too warm, making it perfect for 50-65°F days. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a piece that doesn't scream "TV merch." At $45-$55, it's priced reasonably for a knit. Just hand wash cold to keep the embroidery sharp.
4. The Lodge Long Sleeve
- Best for: Transitional weather, undershirts, fans who love hidden details
- Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, 5.3 oz
- Fit: Slim, ribbed cuffs and hem
Here's the hidden gem: the design is inside the back collar - a small "Lodge 49" text that only shows when you lift your hair or turn around. It's the kind of detail that makes this top feel like a secret handshake. The fabric is substantial enough to wear alone but slim enough to layer under flannels. Sizes run true to size, but if you're between sizes, go down for a fitted look.
5. The Philosopher's Hoodie
- Best for: Lounging, winter layering, gifts for non-fans who'll appreciate the aesthetic
- Fabric: 80% cotton, 20% polyester, vintage wash
- Fit: Standard unisex, kangaroo pocket
This hoodie has a vintage wash that gives it a lived-in look right out of the bag. The front features a large, faded Orbis - the only top with a bold front graphic. It's unisex sizing, so women who want a relaxed fit should order their usual size; for a cropped look, size down. The fleece lining is medium-weight - warm enough for fall, not bulky for winter layering. At $55-$65, it's the priciest item, but the quality matches.
