The Old Greenwich fleece, for the town that is where Greenwich began in 1640. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Old Greenwich vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the Old Greenwich range: a real Columbia blank, embroidered to order, warm, light and fast-drying. It is the jacket for early mornings, the sideline and the drive home, and the Old Greenwich gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

A warm, lightweight full-zip in Columbia’s soft MTR fleece, embroidered to order with our vintage-retro logo on the chest. The authentic Columbia blank uses MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) in an athletic, easy-layering fit with a stand collar and clean lines; it insulates dependably on cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — full details and care instructions are in the page footer Embroidery note.

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.

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.

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.

Why was Old Greenwich once called Sound Beach? Because for fifty-nine years, it was. When the railroad put a station here in 1872, the village took the name of its shoreline and became "Sound Beach" — a summer-resort brand for a summer-resort age. It kept the name until 1931, when the village asked for its history back and was rechristened Old Greenwich, a plain statement of fact: this was the oldest part of the town, the founding ground everything else grew from. Three names in three centuries — the Old Town, Sound Beach, Old Greenwich — and all three describe the same few streets between the brooks and the Sound.

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.
