This is an advance order. We expect to ship them out in mid-December.
Please note that not all colors may be restocked, so if you have a specific color in mind, we encourage you to place your order now to secure it.
From our series commemorating the 80th anniversary of WWII, our exclusive design commemorates the Ardennes Offensive, or what became known as the "Battle of the Bulge".
On the front, the helmet from Easy Company with the words, "Rendezvous with Destiny," a phrase from a speech given by Franklin D. Roosevelt and later adopted as a motto by the 101st Airborne Division.
On the back, the official name and dates of the campaign, "The Ardennes Offensive 16 December 1944 - 28 January 1945," a bold number 80 signifies the eight decades that have passed since this monumental battle, snow-covered trees to evoke the harsh, freezing conditions of the Ardennes forest, where soldiers endured brutal winter weather while fighting a relentless enemy, and feature prominently, the Sherman Cobra King that broke through to link up with the 101st Airborne Division on the outskirts of Bastogne on December 26.

Shipping
For shipments to addresses within the U.S. (scroll down for International shipping)
Flat-rate shipping: Regardless of the number of items you order, the shipping price for shirts, caps, unframed prints and posters, bracelets, lapel pins, pendants, and button packs is $5.95.
For hooded and crewneck sweatshirts, mugs, and blankets, the shipping cost is $8.95.
Our flat rate shipping means you can add two or more t-shirts, sweatshirts, or caps for no additional shipping charge.
Note that some large or heavy items, including larger framed prints, may have a different shipping charge or a shipping surcharge. When they do, it will be noted on the product page.
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.
