MAWNANTUK - Distressed Hat

MAWNANTUK Distressed Hat
Celebrating Coastal Grit and Memories

Inspired by the legendary MAWNANTUK, this distressed hat pays tribute to the enduring spirit of Westport’s rugged coast. Situated near Horseneck Beach, the historic MAWNANTUK once served as a haven for travelers and locals—offering shelter during fierce coastal storms, even guiding lost souls to safety during hurricanes. Though its doors have long since closed, its legacy lives on, near the start of the causeway to Gooseberry Island.

Gooseberry Island—also known as Gooseberry Neck—is Westport’s farthest-reaching peninsula. First cleared for grazing sheep in 1670, it evolved into a lively summer colony with access via a stone causeway built in the 1920s. Today, it stands as a windswept sanctuary of natural beauty and coastal history, punctuated by World War II watchtowers and wild ocean views.

The MAWNANTUK Distressed Hat is for those who wear their roots and resilience with pride. With a slightly worn-in edge, it pairs modern comfort with vintage soul—just like the coastline it honors. Whether you’re walking the causeway, chasing salt air, or simply repping your love for coastal New England, this hat is a nod to the strength that comes from where you stand—and the stories you carry with you.
