The Clinton Original Art Series tee, for the town that is where Yale held its first class. The classy town logo on the front and Clinton’s own artwork, bold and full-size, on the back.

Choose the Art Series tee when the logo tee is too quiet: heavyweight garment-dyed cotton with a lived-in hand and the Clinton artwork printed large across the back. It is the Clinton shirt people stop you to ask about.

The Original Art Series tee crafted from soft heavy weight garment-dyed premium 6.1 oz ring-spun U.S. cotton pairs a soft, lived-in hand with enduring structure. A relaxed, straight silhouette and tubular knit body deliver clean lines that layer effortlessly, while double-needle hems and a smooth, tag-free neckline ensure long-wear comfort. Finished with our classy city logo on the front with bold original art on the back, it’s a refined essential that feels broken-in from day one yet built to last — designed to complement everything from worn denim to a sharp blazer.

Settled in 1663 and named Kenilworth in 1667, Clinton is where the Collegiate School that became Yale held its first classes from 1701 to 1707 in Reverend Abraham Pierson’s parsonage. Adam Stanton built his Federal mansion and general store on that exact site in 1789–91, and the store’s original stock is still inside; the town took its own name in 1838, for DeWitt Clinton of New York.

The 1750 Elisha White House is the oldest brick house on the shoreline between New Haven and New London, Clinton Harbor and the town beach face the Sound at the mouth of the Hammonasset, and Hammonasset Beach State Park lies next door. The mark on this piece is the town where Yale began.

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 Clinton Connecticut

All Clinton Connecticut Items

Yale began here: in 1701 the Collegiate School’s first rector, Abraham Pierson, taught its earliest students in his Clinton parsonage; the first, Jacob Heminway, arrived alone in March 1702.

After Pierson died in 1707 the school moved to Saybrook, settled in New Haven in 1716 and took the name Yale College in 1718; Pierson’s statue stands on East Main Street.

Why People Visit Clinton

Clinton offers the Connecticut shoreline at its most relaxed — a real harbor town with beaches, marinas, and a colonial Main Street, plus the surprising distinction of being where Yale began. Visitors come for the water, the history, and the easy shoreline pace, and stay for the beaches, the harbor, and the oysters.
