The Old Greenwich polo, for the town that is where Greenwich began in 1640. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Old Greenwich 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 Old Greenwich gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

Semi-fitted and side-seamed, this pique polo is cut from soft 100% ring-spun cotton (~5.2 oz/yd²) and finished with a classic 2-button placket and dyed-to-match buttons. The vintage-retro logo is embroidered on the chest. Lightweight and breathable for warm weather, with advanced fabric certification for peace of mind. Machine wash cold on gentle, tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron the decoration, no dry clean. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process; see our Embroidery footer for the full details.

Greenwich began here in 1640, on land bought from the Siwanoy; the settlement was called Old Town for two centuries. That same year Elizabeth Fones Feake bought the peninsula the Siwanoy called Monakewego, the shining sands, in her own name, one of the earliest instances of a woman holding title to land in the New World. The Feake-Ferris House of about 1645 still stands.

The railroad stop renamed the village Sound Beach in 1872, J. Kennedy Tod built his stone estate on the point in the 1880s, Binney Park was given in 1928, and the name Old Greenwich arrived in 1931. Tod’s Point, with its tidal ponds and holly grove, is the town’s largest beach. The mark on this piece is the shining sands.

All Old Greenwich Connecticut Items

Our Old Greenwich logo carries Connecticut's oyster, above "Est. 1636," the founding era of the Connecticut Colony — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Connecticut shoreline place. Printed in a worn black-and-white that recalls an old oyster-crate label, the oyster is the shoreline in shorthand: briny, durable, and tied to the working water. The oyster is the through-line that links Old Greenwich to every other Connecticut town we make. What makes this one Old Greenwich is everything around it — the shining sands of Tod's Point, the pond at Binney Park, and the 1640 founding ground where Greenwich began.

Today Old Greenwich wears its history quietly but proudly — the original "Old Town" of Greenwich, a shore village of beaches and coves with four centuries of New England behind it. Its story runs from the Siwanoy shore and Elizabeth Feake's 1640 purchase of Elizabeth's Neck, through a colonial farming village and a railroad-era summer resort, to the gracious commuter village it is now. Our Old Greenwich designs gather that identity into wearable form — the oyster-and-1636 emblem, the Point, and the Sound. Old Greenwich, Connecticut: where Greenwich began in 1640, on the shining sands of Tod's Point.

Why People Visit Old Greenwich

Old Greenwich offers the Connecticut Gold Coast at its most low-key — a real shore village with a beach peninsula, a pond park, and a handful of streets of shops, plus the quiet distinction of being where Greenwich began. Visitors come for Tod's Point and the Sound, the founding history, and the unhurried village pace, and stay for the beaches, the coves, and the deep-rooted New England feel. It is refined, historic, and genuinely Connecticut.
