The Stamford hoodie, for the town that was Rippowam on the Sound. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Stamford vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Stamford piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Stamford, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Unisex pullover hoodie made from a medium-heavy fleece for warmth and durability. Regular fit with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching at key seams; tear-away label. Runs true to size for adults. Fabric is 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather colors may use cotton–poly blends.

The Siwanoy called this harbor Rippowam. The land deed was signed on July 1, 1640, about twenty-eight Puritan families from Wethersfield settled it in 1641, and it was renamed Stamford on April 6, 1642, for a town in Lincolnshire. The Boston Post Road came through in 1673, and in 1692 the town tried three of its own women as witches and hanged none.

Steamboats ran to New York from 1825 and the railroad followed in the 1840s; the Stamford Advocate of 1829 is the city’s oldest continuous business. The 1882 Stamford Harbor Light stands on Chatham Rock, the fish-shaped First Presbyterian Church is a mid-century landmark, and Shippan Point reaches into the Sound. Connecticut’s second-largest city is the mark on this piece.

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.

All Stamford Connecticut Items

Two landmarks from either end of that story still stand on the water and on the skyline. Out past the breakwater, on Chatham Rock, the Stamford Harbor Ledge Light is a sixty-foot cast-iron sparkplug tower set on a caisson in 1882, the kind of lighthouse that looks like it was screwed into the Sound. It was automated in 1953, sold to a private owner in 1955, and has been privately held ever since, which is why you can see it from Cummings Beach and Shippan Point but not climb it. In town, the First Presbyterian Church on Bedford Street is Wallace K. Harrison’s Fish Church: a sanctuary shaped like a fish in plan and profile, its concrete walls set with more than 20,000 pieces of faceted glass, dedicated in 1958, with a 260-foot carillon tower beside it. It was named a National Historic Landmark on January 13, 2021.

Darien was set off from Stamford in 1820; Stamford became a borough in 1830, a city in 1893, and one consolidated city on April 15, 1949.

Why People Visit Stamford, CT

Stamford balances harbor and city — sailboats on the Sound, a downtown skyline, and four centuries of history from Rippowam to the rail line. It is a Gold Coast harbor town an hour from Manhattan, with the water, the parks, and that one-of-a-kind church on the hill. Increasingly it is also a town with a story to tell: the one that was asked to hang its witches in 1692 and signed a petition instead.
