The Old Saybrook women’s fitted tee, for the town that is Connecticut’s oldest colony. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Old Saybrook vintage retro logo on the chest in white, 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 Old Saybrook shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Classic crewneck, slim contoured fit, longer body length: a women’s fitted t-shirt in soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey with side seams 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.

Saybrook Colony was chartered in 1635, when Lion Gardiner built a fort at the mouth of the Connecticut River, making Old Saybrook the oldest officially chartered settlement in the state. Yale College was founded here in 1701 and met in Saybrook until 1716, and in 1775 David Bushnell built the Turtle, the first American submarine, on this shore.

The 1803 Lynde Point Light is the oldest lighthouse in Connecticut, the 1886 Outer Breakwater Light stands beyond it, and the 1790 James Pharmacy is one of the oldest pharmacy buildings in the country. At Fenwick, Katharine Hepburn kept her lifelong home from 1913 on, and The Kate theater opened in her name in 2009. The mark on this piece is the river mouth.

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.

So Old Saybrook gathers the oldest colony, Yale's first home, the first submarine, and two lighthouses onto one point of land at the mouth of New England's longest river — and our Old Saybrook designs gather that into wearable form. Whether Old Saybrook is your hometown, your summer place, the shore you visited once and never forgot, or the New England town you still dream of, wear the history. At the river's mouth since 1635.

Katharine Hepburn lived at the borough of Fenwick for most of her life and died there in 2003; the restored Main Street theater that bears her name opened in 2009.
