The Milford cap, for the town that was settled on the Wepawaug in 1639. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Milford vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Milford piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

An unstructured 6-panel dad cap with a low-profile fit and Permacurv visor, embroidered with our classic vintage-inspired finish. Breathable cotton, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are in our Embroidery footer.

Milford’s planters bought Wepawaug from the Paugussett sachem Ansantawae in February 1639 and settled on August 22 of that year under Reverend Peter Prudden, making it the sixth-oldest town in Connecticut. William Fowler’s mill at the ford gave it its name in 1640, and Robert Treat left here in 1666 to found Newark, New Jersey.

The Milford Green is the second-longest in New England, the 1889 Memorial Bridge carries the founders’ names in stone, and Captain Kidd’s gold is said to be buried on Charles Island off Silver Sands. Seventeen miles of coast and the Milford Oyster Festival, the state’s largest one-day festival, round out the town. The mark on this piece is the Wepawaug.

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.

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.

All Milford Connecticut Items

So Milford gathers a 1639 green, a treasure island, an oyster festival, and seventeen miles of shore onto Long Island Sound. Our Milford designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. On the Wepawaug since 1639 — Milford, CT.

The town still gathers where it always has. Since 1974 the Milford Oyster Festival has filled the Green and the downtown every August, growing into the largest single-day event in the state. Around it sits a historic downtown along the Wepawaug — the duck pond, the First Congregational Church, the Robert Treat Memorial Tower honoring the founders — a New Haven–area city that, through every change, has kept its harbor and its Green.

Why People Visit Milford

Milford balances a historic green, a legendary island, and miles of easy shoreline. Visitors enjoy simple seaside walks, boardwalks, and small cultural stops between the beaches and the harbor. It is peaceful, family-friendly, and close to nature, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. History and everyday coastal life sit side by side here, from the long Green and the colonial downtown to the oyster boats and the boardwalk beyond.
