The Westport baby bodysuit, for the town that met the redcoats at Compo Hill. Soft fine jersey with the Westport vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Westport piece most often bought for someone else.

A soft, breathable infant bodysuit in light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey. Ribbed binding and side seams add durability, and the secure snap crotch makes changes easy. Solids are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

On April 25, 1777, about 1,850 British troops came ashore at Compo Beach on their way to burn Danbury, and Westport’s militia met them at Compo Hill on the way back. The town itself was incorporated on May 28, 1835, from parts of Norwalk, Fairfield and Weston, grown out of the colonial Saugatuck River shipping village and the 1648 Green’s Farms settlement.

The Minute Man statue at Compo Road was unveiled on June 17, 1910, the Westport Country Playhouse opened in an 1835 tannery in 1931, and the arts colony that began around 1910 gave the town its character. Compo Beach, the Saugatuck waterfront and Sherwood Island line the Sound. The mark on this piece is the minuteman’s town.

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.

The war came to Westport by water. On the evening of April 25, 1777, some twenty-six British ships anchored off Compo Beach and landed about 1,850 troops under General William Tryon, who marched inland and burned the Continental supply depot at Danbury. The countryside rose behind them. On the return march the militia made the British pay, first at Ridgefield and then at the Battle of Compo Hill above the beach, where the redcoats finally cleared their way back to the ships with a bayonet charge. More than one hundred Continentals fell in the raid's engagements, among them General David Wooster, mortally wounded rallying his men.

Around 1910 something unexpected happened: artists. Illustrators, writers, and playwrights discovered the farmhouses and the shore light, and Westport became one of America's great arts colonies — F. Scott Fitzgerald rented a house on Compo Road South around 1920, and the Sound-shore world he found here is bound up with the one he later put into The Great Gatsby. In 1931 the players converted an 1835 tannery into the Westport Country Playhouse, still the town's stage today, and by mid-century the arts colony had settled into an affluent New York commuter town that never quite stopped being a colony.

Why People Visit Westport Connecticut

  • Spend a day at Compo Beach, the town's Sound-front park, and find the Minute Man statue on the bluff above the 1777 landing site — the 1901 commemorative cannons stand nearby.
  • Walk the Saugatuck River waterfront and the historic Saugatuck village, the colonial shipping center the town grew from, and cross the 1884 Cribari swing bridge.
  • Catch a show at the Westport Country Playhouse, founded in 1931 in a converted 1835 tannery, or a summer concert at the Levitt Pavilion.
  • Browse downtown Main Street and the river walk, with shops and galleries near the water.
  • Kayak to Cockenoe Island off Compo, or walk Longshore's shoreline paths and public golf course.
  • Drive a stretch of the Merritt Parkway for its celebrated 1930s bridges — no two are alike.
  • Read up at the Westport Library before exploring the town's deep arts-colony history.
