The Mystic cap, for the town that was the whaling capital of America. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Mystic vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Mystic piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

An unstructured 6-panel dad cap with a low-profile fit and Permacurv visor, embroidered with our classic vintage-inspired finish. Breathable cotton, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are in our Embroidery footer.

Mystic was settled in 1654 on both banks of the Mystic River, split to this day between Groton and Stonington. Between the 1830s and 1860s its yards built more than six hundred vessels, and in 1841 they launched the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, now the last wooden whaleship in the world. The 1756 Captain Daniel Packer Inne still stands by the water.

The 1922 bascule bridge on Main Street still lifts for boat traffic, Mystic Seaport Museum, founded in 1929, is the largest maritime museum in America, and the village became famous far beyond New England when Mystic Pizza was filmed here in 1988. That working-river history is the mark on this piece.

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.

How do I care for my item?

More From Mystic Connecticut

All Mystic Connecticut Items

Mystic holds its history in the open: a river that outbuilt Boston, a drawbridge that still lifts, and a wooden whaleship that refuses to die. Our Mystic designs gather that identity — the masts, the river, the oyster-and-1636 emblem — into wearable form. Last wooden whaler since 1841.

The village beneath the legend is older than the yards. Settled in 1654 along the banks of the Mystic River, Mystic has never been an incorporated town at all — it is a village split down the middle by its own river, the west bank in Groton, the east bank in Stonington, with the 1922 bascule drawbridge stitching the two halves together on Main Street. Captain Daniel Packer opened his tavern above the river in 1756, and it still serves dinner today. In the 19th century the Greenman brothers built their shipyard, their mill village, and their church at Greenmanville — the riverbank where the seaport museum complex, founded in 1929, now keeps the working preservation shipyard.
