The Cos Cob fleece, for the town that is where the Impressionists painted the Mianus. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Cos Cob vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the Cos Cob range: a real Columbia blank, embroidered to order, warm, light and fast-drying. It is the jacket for early mornings, the sideline and the drive home, and the Cos Cob gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

A warm, lightweight full-zip in Columbia’s soft MTR fleece, embroidered to order with our vintage-retro logo on the chest. The authentic Columbia blank uses MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) in an athletic, easy-layering fit with a stand collar and clean lines; it insulates dependably on cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — full details and care instructions are in the page footer Embroidery note.

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.

Cos Cob is one of the historic villages of Greenwich, a stretch of about four and a half square miles in the town's southwest corner along the Mianus, with neighbors like Riverside and Old Greenwich nearby. It keeps the shape that drew the artists: a small harbor on Long Island Sound, the river sliding past old houses, and a quiet, painterly light that has not really changed in more than a century.

The house was old long before the painters found it. It began about 1728 as the home of the mercantile Bush family, a classic New England saltbox on the harbor, and it stood through the era of the New Nation in the years after the Revolution. The village around it grew as a working Mianus-River waterfront — wharves, a mill, a shipyard, and oyster boats on the Sound — generations before anyone set up an easel on the riverbank.

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.
