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 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 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.

What's with Iron Works Village? Before it was East Haven, it was Iron Works Village — and that name is the key to the whole town. In 1655, on the shore of a pond fed by Lake Saltonstall, colonists fired up Connecticut's very first iron works, smelting bog iron just a few years after the New Haven Colony took root. It was only the third ironworks in all of New England. The furnace gave the settlement its first identity and its first industry, and though the fires went cold long ago, the village it built grew into the shoreline town that still sits at the east edge of New Haven Harbor.

So East Haven gathers colonial iron, a fieldstone church, and the country's oldest trolley line onto a narrow shore of Long Island Sound. Our East Haven designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. East Haven, Connecticut — where colonial iron, a stone church, and the country's oldest trolley line meet the Sound.

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.
