The Rowayton tank, for the town that grew up on oysters where the Five Mile River meets the Sound. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Rowayton vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Rowayton piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

A retail-fit unisex tank in lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Side seams and self-fabric binding help it hold its shape, the label tears away, and it runs true to size for adults. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather and prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Rowayton began in the late 1600s as a fishing and farming hamlet on the Five Mile River within Norwalk, was burned in Tryon’s raid of July 1779, and boomed on oysters in the 1800s, when the Pinkney Park shipyard built the boats. Victorian sea-captain and oysterman houses still line Rowayton Avenue in the Five Mile River Landing Historic District.

The railroad arrived in 1849, and from about 1880 to 1942 Roton Point drew steamship excursions to its dance hall, carousel and roller coaster. Today the village is water on three sides, Bayley Beach, Farm Creek’s tidal marsh and one of the busiest small arts communities on the shore. The mark on this piece is the salty little village.

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.

More From Rowayton Connecticut

All Rowayton Connecticut Items

What's with Rowayton? Rowayton is Norwalk's village on the Sound — a Five Mile River harbor of oysters, sailboats, and art that runs its own affairs as the Sixth Taxing District. Forty miles from New York and a world apart, it is the Connecticut shore at its most distilled: a working river mouth, a village center you can walk end to end, and salt water at the bottom of every street.

Roton Point drew steamboats of day-trippers from New York to its shore resort — carousel, coasters, and picnic grove — from the 1880s to WWII.

Why People Visit Rowayton

Rowayton offers the Connecticut shore at its most relaxed and characterful — sailing, art, and quiet beaches in a village that has kept its scale and its salt-water soul. Visitors come for the harbor and the shore parks and stay for the unhurried, distilled village that Norwalk keeps at its edge.
