Ahoy, polloi! The Compo Yacht Club — Westport's "finest institution since 1920", founded the very week the taps ran dry — presents the Commodore's Cap. And before you ask: yes, you qualify. At a club where no member has ever been observed sailing, everybody holds the rank. The cap is the commission.

Rated for the seawall at all hours, the raw bar, dawn dog patrol, the farmers market, and a three-hour tour of the harbor conducted entirely from a folding chair — brim down, weather rough, resolve unsinkable. It is the club's official position that a member is out of uniform without it. It is the club's other official position that there is no uniform. Both are strictly enforced.

For beach walkers, boat owners, boat wanters, brim-tippers, gift-getters, and anyone whose yacht exists primarily in conversation. Pairs with everything the club makes, because that is the entire point of a cap.

Welcome aboard, Commodore. Dues are one olive — hats off when you pay.

The burgee — martini, olive to windward — embroidered in proper thread, not printed, stitched straight into enzyme-washed 100% cotton twill that arrives pre-faded, like it's been riding the dashboard of a Wagoneer since the Ford administration. Unstructured six-panel, curved bill, brass slider in the back: the silhouette that never needed improving, in seven washed coastal colors that all look like they've already had a good summer.

The fine print, read like a tide chart: Comfort Colors 8.5 oz 100% cotton enzyme-washed twill, embroidered burgee, unstructured six-panel, self-fabric closure with metal slider, adjustable, seven colors. Machine wash cold. Made to order in the USA.

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.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.
