The Stamford tank, for the town that was Rippowam on the Sound. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Stamford vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Stamford 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.

Unisex jersey tank made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding help it hold shape, with a tear-away label, and it runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Siwanoy called this harbor Rippowam. The land deed was signed on July 1, 1640, about twenty-eight Puritan families from Wethersfield settled it in 1641, and it was renamed Stamford on April 6, 1642, for a town in Lincolnshire. The Boston Post Road came through in 1673, and in 1692 the town tried three of its own women as witches and hanged none.

Steamboats ran to New York from 1825 and the railroad followed in the 1840s; the Stamford Advocate of 1829 is the city’s oldest continuous business. The 1882 Stamford Harbor Light stands on Chatham Rock, the fish-shaped First Presbyterian Church is a mid-century landmark, and Shippan Point reaches into the Sound. Connecticut’s second-largest city is the mark on this piece.

More From Stamford Connecticut

All Stamford Connecticut Items

Before any of that, the harbor at the mouth of the Rippowam was Siwanoy country, and Rippowam was its name. On July 1, 1640, Captain Nathaniel Turner of the New Haven Colony signed a deed for the land with the Siwanoy sagamores Ponus and Wascussee, paying in coats, hoes, hatchets, mirrors, knives, two kettles and four fathoms of white wampum. Whatever each side believed it had agreed to, the price tells you how the English valued the place: as farmland by a navigable river, within sight of the Sound. The name Rippowam survives in the river that still runs through downtown to the harbor, and in this page’s habit of saying it first.

Today Stamford is a corporate skyline on a colonial harbor, a commuter city with a 1640 deed in its files and a witch trial it can finally be proud of. People come for the parade balloons in November, the beaches and the boardwalk in July, the Fish Church any Sunday, and the view of the light from Shippan Point. Our Stamford, Connecticut designs gather that identity into wearable form — the oyster, the harbor, the colonial port, and this season the Harbor Witch who never was. Stamford, CT — Rippowam on the Sound, a harbor town since 1641.

Why People Visit Stamford, CT

Stamford balances harbor and city — sailboats on the Sound, a downtown skyline, and four centuries of history from Rippowam to the rail line. It is a Gold Coast harbor town an hour from Manhattan, with the water, the parks, and that one-of-a-kind church on the hill. Increasingly it is also a town with a story to tell: the one that was asked to hang its witches in 1692 and signed a petition instead.
