1775 Lexington and Concord Shirt
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is an advance order. Place your order by March 20. We expect to ship all advance orders in early April so that they are received in time for Patriots' Day.
While we plan to carry this shirt, we will not carry all the styles and colors available now, so to ensure you get the color, style, and size you want, you'll want to place an advance order.
And as you'll see, we've added a shirt that is done with a new dye method that creates a very cool aged, but not distressed, look. We're offering it in black, which is really a dark grey color given the dye method. It's really worth checking out, and if you do like it, be sure and place your advance order.

Our original design recognizes the events on Lexington Green and at North Bridge in Concord that took place on April 19, 1775 and marked the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
Author and historian J.L. Bell has taken a close look at this and written about it here and here.
The shirts:
- Navy blue with white ink — 100% cotton shirt. 4.3 oz. Knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. Sizes: S - 4XL.
- Heather grey with blue ink — 90% Cotton / 10% poly blend. 4.3 oz. Knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. Sizes: S - 3XL.

Care: Wash in cold water with like colors. The first time you wash the navy blue or the aged black, wash them by themselves. To reduce any chance of shrinkage, hang to dry.

Also available, "The Doolittle Engravings of the Battle of Lexington and Concord" Archival Print, "Battle of Lexington 1775" as an archival print and a small poster.
If you think you know what happened that day . . .
You'll be surprised by some of the details you'll find in J.L. Bell's The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War. You can get your signed, inscribed copy here.

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.
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.
