This is our retro Madison, 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.

Settled as East Guilford in 1641 and renamed for President Madison at incorporation in 1826, Madison grew around one of the oldest town greens in Connecticut. The 1685 Deacon John Grave House stayed in one family for three hundred years, and the 1838 First Congregational Church still faces the Green.

Hammonasset Beach State Park, opened in 1920 on former Hammonasset land, is the largest shoreline park in the state, the Madison Beach Hotel sits on the Sound, and R.J. Julia Booksellers, open since 1990, is one of the most cited independent bookstores in the country. The mark on this piece is that shoreline.

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.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

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. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

Why People Visit Madison Connecticut

Madison offers the longest shoreline beach park in Connecticut on a peninsula named for the Hammonassett people who farmed it for centuries, a Town Green that has been the center of the village since 1641, a 17th-century saltbox house museum a few doors off the green, an 1838 Greek Revival church, a long-running town library, and a nationally-cited independent bookstore on the same Boston Post Road that has run through town since the colonial era. Visitors come for the beach, the green, the architecture, the bookstore, the marshes, the lower-Hammonasset estuary, the author events, and the simple shoreline rhythm of a New England town that has been holding the same compact center for nearly four hundred years. On Hammonasset shore since 1641.
