The Niantic women’s fitted tee, for the town that is the point of land on the water. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Niantic vintage retro logo on the chest in black, 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 Niantic shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Women’s fitted ringspun cotton t-shirt with a soft, lightweight jersey feel and a classic crewneck. Slim, contoured fit with a longer body length, side-seam construction, and a tear-away label; this style runs smaller than usual. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

The Nehantic named this shore for the point of land on the water, and the English settled it in the mid-1600s as part of Lyme. The Shore Line Railway of 1851 turned the stretch once called The Bank into a summer village, and the 1845 Smith-Harris House and 1685 Samuel Smith House survive from the farming years.

Today the Book Barn’s stacks ramble on for buildings, the boardwalk runs a mile along Niantic Bay beside the rails, nine beach communities line the shore, and Rocky Neck State Park is next door. Salt air, used books and Long Island Sound are 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.

The bay is still the heart of it. Beyond the boardwalk, Niantic's white-sand beaches and nine beach communities swell the village to several times its winter size every July; the calm, shallow water and the easy shore make it a family town in season. Each September the village throws the Niantic Bay Oyster Festival on St. John's Green, a nod to the oyster beds that fed the place for generations. It is unhurried and unpretentious — a Connecticut beach town that has never tried to be anything fancier.

Today Niantic is a small shore village of a few thousand that doubles in summer and empties back to quiet in winter, the way beach towns do. Its story runs from the Nehantic ‘point of land on the water’ through the oyster boats and the 1851 railroad to the boardwalk full of strollers tonight. Our Niantic designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. This is the point of land on the Sound.

Why People Visit Niantic

Niantic offers straightforward coastal time for families. Visitors mix boardwalk walks with park picnics, beach days, and small museums, all on Long Island Sound. It is easygoing, scenic, and walkable, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. The vintage feel of a New England beach village is evergreen, and history and everyday shoreline life sit side by side here in a welcoming way.
