The Clinton hoodie, for the town that is where Yale held its first class. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Clinton vintage retro logo across the chest in black, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Clinton piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Clinton, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Unisex pullover hoodie made from a medium-heavy fleece for warmth and durability. Regular fit with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching at key seams; tear-away label. Runs true to size for adults. Fabric is 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather colors may use cotton–poly blends.

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.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

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.

Clinton's story starts on the water. Native people fished this stretch of Long Island Sound for generations before English colonists settled the same shore in 1663 — naming their plantation Kenilworth, after the English castle town, a name the salt air wore down to Killingworth within a lifetime. The settlement they planted between the Hammonasset and the Indian River lived by the Sound from its first day: fish, shellfish, salt hay, and the small ships that carried them.

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.
