The Mystic tank, for the town that was the whaling capital of America. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Mystic vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Mystic piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

A retail-fit unisex tank in lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Side seams and self-fabric binding help it hold its shape, the label tears away, and it runs true to size for adults. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather and prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Mystic was settled in 1654 on both banks of the Mystic River, split to this day between Groton and Stonington. Between the 1830s and 1860s its yards built more than six hundred vessels, and in 1841 they launched the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, now the last wooden whaleship in the world. The 1756 Captain Daniel Packer Inne still stands by the water.

The 1922 bascule bridge on Main Street still lifts for boat traffic, Mystic Seaport Museum, founded in 1929, is the largest maritime museum in America, and the village became famous far beyond New England when Mystic Pizza was filmed here in 1988. That working-river history is the mark on this piece.

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.

Today the river still runs the show: the drawbridge lifts on schedule for masts taller than the road, the Charles W. Morgan rides her berth at the Greenmanville waterfront, Main Street fills with visitors from spring through leaf season, and the Mystic Bridge Historic District — 155 acres listed on the National Register in 1979 — keeps the Greek Revival and Italianate streetscape the sea captains built.

Mystic holds its history in the open: a river that outbuilt Boston, a drawbridge that still lifts, and a wooden whaleship that refuses to die. Our Mystic designs gather that identity — the masts, the river, the oyster-and-1636 emblem — into wearable form. Last wooden whaler since 1841.
