The Connecticut Collection

Connecticut’s shoreline is a patchwork of quiet coves, tidal rivers, and old seafaring towns where history and salt air run deep. From the Thimble Islands to Mystic Harbor, from Stonington to the mouth of the Connecticut River, this stretch of the Long Island Sound has been home to lobster boats, sailing schools, and bluefish anglers for generations. The water here doesn’t roar—it whispers. And for those who know it well, every inlet, chart number, and channel marker means something.

The Connecticut Collection is our tribute to that quiet kind of connection. Each shirt and accessory features a real NOAA chart reimagined as wearable art—whether it’s mapping the estuaries around Old Saybrook or tracing the harbor lines near Norwalk. These patterns don’t just decorate—they resonate. They’ve become thoughtful gifts for boaters, beach house owners, and anyone whose memories are moored somewhere along the Sound.

As with all our collections, these designs are made one at a time by our small, independent family business based in Michigan. Most start with a customer who asks, “Can you do Branford? How about the Thames River?” And we say yes. We sketch it out, adjust the details, and build something that’s not just a shirt—but a piece of place.

We also offer custom versions for yacht clubs, regattas, and coastal businesses, integrating logos or event branding directly into the chart design—clean, professional, and ready for your crew. No embroidery required. Just meaning, permanently set into every piece.

If you know the Connecticut coast, you know it’s more than just a line on a map. It’s a feeling. And this collection helps you carry that with you—anywhere.
