This is our retro Greens Farms, Connecticut logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Before it was Greens Farms the Pequot called this stretch of shore Machamux, the beautiful land. Five Bankside Farmers settled it in 1648, the first English settlement in the area and the oldest corner of what became Westport; the first schoolhouse went up on the Common in 1703, the West Parish meeting house in 1711, and the name changed to Green’s Farms in 1732 for farmer John Green.

The British burned the meeting house and fifteen houses in the Revolution, and the congregation hid its communion silver in Deacon Jesup’s well. The 1853 meeting house on Hillandale Road carries on the 1711 society, the Machamux Boulder marks the original settlement, and Sherwood Island, Connecticut’s first state park, lies on its shore. The mark on this piece is the beautiful land.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

The twentieth century brought the estates and the school. Standard Oil's E. T. Bedford, the village's great benefactor, kept his farm here and gave Westport its YMCA; the 1925 Bolton School grew into Greens Farms Academy, whose 42-acre campus looks over the marsh and the Sound; and the farms themselves became the quiet shoreline neighborhood the New York Times once bounded by Hillspoint Road, the Post Road, and the Fairfield line. In 2020 the census finally drew the village on the map as its own place — 372 years after the Pequot name told everyone where it was.

The Revolution burned through in July 1779, when Governor Tryon's raiders — the same force that torched Fairfield and Norwalk that month — put the Greens Farms church and much of the parish to the torch. The congregation rebuilt, as Connecticut parishes did, and the church that stands today carries the line forward; the village's Revolutionary chapter runs with its neighbors' in the same hard summer, a story told at length on our Westport and Minutemen pages.

Why People Visit Greens Farms

Greens Farms offers calm beaches, salt-marsh nature, and village charm steeped in the deepest colonial history on the Westport shore. Visitors come for the first-state-park beach at Sherwood Island and stay for the sense of a place that has held its name — the beautiful land — for nearly four centuries.
