The Madison hoodie, for the town that has Connecticut’s longest shoreline beach. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Madison vintage retro logo across the chest in black, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Madison piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Madison, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Medium-heavy fleece gives this unisex hoodie its warmth and durability. It has a regular fit that runs true to size for adults, a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, double-needle stitching at key seams, and a tear-away label. Fabric: 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester, with heather shades in cotton–poly blends.

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?

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.

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.

The peninsula is named for the Hammonassett people, who farmed and fished it for centuries before contact; the name means "where we dig holes in the ground."
