Unisex heavy crewneck sweatshirt in medium-heavy fleece for warmth and durability. Classic fit with ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband, double-needle seams, and a tear-away label. DTG print. Standard 8.0 oz 50% cotton/50% polyester; Heather Sport 60/40. White may appear off-white; Orange hue may vary.

Stratford was founded by Puritans in 1639 at the mouth of the Housatonic and named on April 13, 1643, for Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon. It spent two centuries oystering and shipbuilding on the Sound, and the 1750 Captain David Judson House still stands from that era.

On September 14, 1939, Igor Sikorsky’s VS-300 made the first practical helicopter flight in the world over the Housatonic, and every presidential Marine One since 1957 has been built in town. Boothe Memorial Park keeps a clocktower, a windmill and an old Merritt Parkway tollbooth, and Stratford Point Light marks the river mouth. The mark on this piece is the town that taught America to hover.

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.

All Stratford Connecticut Items

The brothers who collected buildings. Ask Stratford for its strangest story and you'll be sent to Boothe Memorial Park: two brothers, David and Stephen Boothe, spent the early twentieth century filling their family homestead with structures nobody could quite explain — a clocktower museum, a chapel, a blacksmith shop, a windmill, a trolley station, and, in time, an original Merritt Parkway tollbooth. They willed all thirty-two acres to the people of Stratford, and the town has been happily puzzled by it ever since.

So Stratford holds two histories in one harbor: the tide that made an oyster town, and the rotor wash that made an aviation capital. Our Stratford designs gather both into wearable form. From a 1639 oyster harbor to the birthplace of the American helicopter — wear a little of Stratford's Connecticut history.
