The East Haven women’s fitted tee, for the town that built Connecticut’s first ironworks. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the East Haven vintage retro logo on the chest in black, 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 East Haven shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Lightweight ringspun cotton jersey gives this women’s fitted tee its soft feel. The cut is slim and contoured with a longer body length and a classic crewneck, built with side seams and a tear-away label; it runs smaller than usual. Solids are 100% cotton and select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

Settled as East Farms around 1638 to 1644, East Haven built Connecticut’s first iron furnace at Lake Saltonstall in 1655 and was the Iron Works Village long before it took its name in 1707. The Old Stone Church of 1772–74, built by George Lancraft, is one of the oldest stone churches in New England and still faces the Green.

Tryon’s raid of July 5, 1779, took Black Rock Fort and cost the town sixteen men; Lafayette camped on the Green that year and returned in 1824. East Haven became its own town in May 1785, and the Shore Line Trolley Museum still runs the oldest continuously operating suburban trolley line in the country. The mark on this piece is the iron and the stone.

That trolley line is East Haven's quiet claim to fame. Today the Shore Line Trolley Museum keeps the Branford Electric Railway running — the oldest continuously operating suburban trolley line in the United States — carrying riders on century-old streetcars along the same shoreline route, past Farm River and its tidal marshes. The town itself has long since become a New Haven-area shoreline suburb, with its beaches on Long Island Sound, its greens and ball fields, and the easy rhythm of a coastal town. But the trolley still clangs along the marsh, a living thread back to the iron-works village that started it all.

Our East Haven logo carries the Connecticut shoreline shell above "Connecticut — Est. 1636," the shared retro emblem of our Connecticut towns; the shell stands for the oystering and salt-marsh coast East Haven grew up on, and 1636 marks the founding of the Connecticut Colony itself, not the town — East Haven's own story runs from East Farms in 1638 to its own town charter in 1785. Rendered in worn black-and-white, like a stamp on an oyster crate or a coastal sign, it ties East Haven to every other Connecticut town we make. What makes this one East Haven is the story behind it — the first iron, the stone church, and the oldest trolley line in America.

Why People Visit East Haven

Visitors come to East Haven for an unhurried slice of the Connecticut shore: a ride on a hundred-year-old trolley, a stroll past one of New England's oldest stone churches, and an afternoon on a quiet Sound-side beach. Salt marshes and shoreline trails sit a few minutes from the Town Green, and New Haven's museums and harbor are right next door. Equal parts colonial heritage and easy coastal living, East Haven rewards anyone drawn to the working shoreline of Long Island Sound.
