The Madison polo, for the town that has Connecticut’s longest shoreline beach. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Madison vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread: hometown pride that passes at the office.

Choose the polo when a t-shirt is too casual and a logo too loud: the embroidered crest reads as a club mark, so it works for golf, a summer dinner or a workday. It is the Madison gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

Soft 100% ring-spun cotton pique (~5.2 oz/yd²), a semi-fitted side-seamed cut, and our vintage-retro logo embroidered on the chest make this a clean everyday polo for work, golf, or weekends. It has a classic 2-button placket with dyed-to-match buttons, breathes well in warm weather, and carries advanced fabric certification. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron decoration, no dry clean. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; the full details are in our Embroidery footer.

Settled as East Guilford in 1641 and renamed for President Madison at incorporation in 1826, Madison grew around one of the oldest town greens in Connecticut. The 1685 Deacon John Grave House stayed in one family for three hundred years, and the 1838 First Congregational Church still faces the Green.

Hammonasset Beach State Park, opened in 1920 on former Hammonasset land, is the largest shoreline park in the state, the Madison Beach Hotel sits on the Sound, and R.J. Julia Booksellers, open since 1990, is one of the most cited independent bookstores in the country. The mark on this piece is that shoreline.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

Who makes this?

All Madison Connecticut Items

Hammonasset Beach State Park — Connecticut's largest shoreline state park, two miles of sand on Long Island Sound — opened July 18, 1920, and drew 75,000 visitors its first season.

So Madison gathers the state's biggest beach, one of its oldest greens, a 1685 saltbox, and a main street with a nationally loved bookstore onto one stretch of Sound shore — and our Madison designs gather that into wearable form. Whether Madison is your hometown, your beach, the green you crossed a thousand times, or the town you still mean to come back to, wear the history. On Hammonasset shore since 1641.
