The Cos Cob cap, for the town that is where the Impressionists painted the Mianus. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Cos Cob vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Cos Cob 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.

This unisex dad cap is made from breathable cotton in a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel shape with a Permacurv visor. A self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle adjusts the fit, and a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching add durability. The embroidered finish is classic and vintage-inspired. All colors 100% cotton; camo is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — see our Embroidery footer for full details.

Cos Cob is a waterfront village of Greenwich at the lower landing of the Mianus River, where the c.1728 Bush-Holley House stands on a hill over the harbor. The Holleys opened it as a boarding house in 1882, John Henry Twachtman began teaching summer classes there in 1890, and he and J. Alden Weir brought the Art Students League summer school in 1892.

Childe Hassam and Theodore Robinson followed, and the Cos Cob Art Colony that flourished until the 1920s was Connecticut’s first, a birthplace of American Impressionism. The saltbox became a museum in 1958 and a National Historic Landmark in 1991; Hassam’s Red Mill shipyard stood across the water. The mark on this piece is that light on the harbor.

More From Cos Cob Connecticut

All Cos Cob Connecticut Items

Our Cos Cob logo carries Connecticut's oyster above ‘Connecticut — Est. 1636,’ the shared retro emblem of our Connecticut towns; the oyster recalls the Long Island Sound shellfishing of the old waterfront village, and 1636 marks the founding of the colony. Rendered in black-and-white, like an old crate label, it ties Cos Cob to every other Connecticut town we make. What makes this one Cos Cob is the village behind the shell — the saltbox over the harbor and the painters on the riverbank.

Why Cos Cob? In a word, the train. The Cos Cob station put the village less than an hour from New York, and the place gave Impressionism everything it wanted: tidal light on the Mianus, a working harbor, weathered clapboard houses, and the old Palmer and Duff shipyard across the water — the very subject of Hassam's painting 'The Red Mill, Cos Cob.' The artists worked outdoors, en plein air, just as the French had done at Giverny, chasing color that changed by the minute, and the Lower Landing of the Mianus handed them a ready-made composition at every tide.

Why People Visit Cos Cob

Cos Cob offers art heritage and green escapes in a small, walkable village. Visitors pair the Bush-Holley House and its Impressionist collection with river paths, harbor overlooks, and quiet historic streets. It is tranquil, residential, and close to the water, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. History and everyday life sit side by side here, from the saltbox over the harbor to the trails along the Mianus.
