The Riverside baby bodysuit, for the town that keeps Greenwich’s quiet where the Mianus meets the Sound. Soft fine jersey with the Riverside vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Riverside piece most often bought for someone else.

This unisex baby bodysuit is made from soft, breathable fine jersey at a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²). A secure snap crotch makes changes easy, and ribbed binding with side seams adds durability. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heathers include a cotton–polyester blend.

Riverside began as Mianus Neck, a fishing and oystering village of Greenwich settled in the mid-1600s; the c.1760 Samuel Ferris farmhouse survives from that era. Developers Jeremiah Atwater and Luke Lockwood renamed it Riverside in the late 1800s to draw New Yorkers up the new rail line, and the refined railroad suburb they planned is what stands today.

The 1871 cast-iron Riverside Avenue Bridge, moved here in the 1890s, is Connecticut’s only surviving cast-iron bridge and a National Historic Landmark; St. Paul’s Episcopal dates to 1876 and the Riverside Yacht Club to 1888. Shore roads wind between the Mianus River and Long Island Sound. The mark on this piece is that quiet.

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?

More From Riverside Connecticut

All Riverside Connecticut Items

The water that fed the oystermen now carries sailboats. In May 1888 a retired Civil War captain named George I. Tyson built a clubhouse on his own waterfront on the eastern shore of Cos Cob Harbor, at the mouth of the Mianus, and founded the Riverside Yacht Club — the second-oldest yacht club in Connecticut and among the oldest in the United States. Its Victorian clubhouse went up the next year, and the club has been racing on Long Island Sound ever since. Sailcloth, brass, and harbor-grey: this is Riverside’s prevailing weather.

Today Riverside is a leafy, watery corner of Greenwich where an oystering neck became a genteel railroad suburb. Our Riverside designs gather that identity — the oyster emblem, the Mianus River, the quiet Sound-side shore — into wearable form. Riverside — where the Mianus River meets the Sound, and old Greenwich keeps its quiet.

Why People Visit Riverside

Riverside rewards visitors who like the quiet, watery side of the Gold Coast: sailboats on the Mianus, shaded streets, and a handful of real landmarks close together. Add the Sound-side parks and the easy ride to the city, and the genteel calm makes its own case.
