The Cos Cob women’s fitted tee, for the town that is where the Impressionists painted the Mianus. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Cos Cob vintage retro logo on the chest in white, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Cos Cob shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey in a slim, contoured women’s fit with a longer body length and a classic crewneck. Side-seamed, with a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual, so consider sizing up. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

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.

Their home was the Holley House — today the Bush-Holley House — a colonial saltbox built around 1728 on a hill above Cos Cob Harbor where the Mianus River runs out to the Sound. Josephine and Edward Holley ran it as a boarding house, and the students who came to study with Twachtman took rooms there. In 1896 a young painter named Elmer MacRae arrived as one of those students, fell in love with the Holleys' daughter Constant, married her in 1900, and together they kept the boardinghouse going — and the colony alive — for two more decades.

So Cos Cob gathers a colonial saltbox, a boarding house full of painters, and the first Impressionist colony in Connecticut onto the banks of the Mianus. Our Cos Cob designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Where the Impressionists painted the Mianus — Cos Cob, CT.

Why People Visit Cos Cob

Cos Cob offers art heritage and green escapes in a small, walkable village.

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.
