Barnstable, MA Shirts

One town, seven villages, and no two of them keep the same hours. Hyannis is the workhorse: ferries loading for the islands, a busy harbor, year-round jobs and the traffic to prove it. Barnstable Village keeps the courthouse and the shade trees over on the bay side. Osterville and Cotuit tend their sailing coves, Centerville has its long warm-water beach, Marstons Mills its ponds, West Barnstable its marsh and scrub pine. The town line holds all of this together loosely, the way a family reunion does. Ask someone from Cotuit where they live and you will not hear the word Barnstable. Our Barnstable design makes the arrangement literal: a ferry steaming out of Hyannis Harbor with seven pennants strung across the sky above it, one for each village, none flying higher than another. It is a shirt about a place that is really seven places, which may be the most Barnstable thing a shirt can be. Village by village, Barnstable shops show up here once they join ShirtMap.
