Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping. 

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

  • When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
  • If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
  • If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

          We Love Ours!

          We all got one and absolutely love it! So well made and excellent quality! They fit really well for men and women. Very comfortable, and the weight is nice, but too thick. Excited to live in it in December! Huzzah!

          Great hoodie

          I’m very pleased with my hoodie purchase. It’s made well not very thin and the printing on the back is bright and very colorful. I’ll be wearing this on Christmas Day.

          Great Christmas present

          A patriot remembrance and a very nice feel in both the sweatshirt and tee shirt.

          Great Gift For A Lover of History

          I bought the hooded sweatshirt with the George Washington's Christmas Day Crossing logo for my daughter who shares a love of all things history with me. The colors are vibrant and the logo on the back of the hooded sweatshirt is wonderful. I loved it so much that I ordered one for myself.

          I'm in Love...With a Hoodie

          I LOVE this hoodie! Not only does is alert nearby historophiles, with a wink and a nod, that I'm proud of my Nation's history and the wild risks Washington took to keep the Continental army in being but it's holiday appropriate too! I've been wearing it every day since I received it and have had so many people stop me and tell me how much they love it! For anyone concerned that the hood may obscure the image, it doesn't - at all! I'm about to buy a second one for when I wear this one into a rag.
