The shirt: We’re offering your choice of fabrics and colors:
  • 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt in Military green — Grown, knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. 4.3 oz.  XS - 3XL. See size chart.
  • Our standard 4.3 oz. Poly-Cotton shirt in Light olive that gets rave reviews. Our softest shirt. It's also our thinnest and lightest. It is very high-quality and long-wearing, but it is thin and light. Lots of people love them, which you can see in the reviews, but if you judge t-shirt quality based on weight or thickness, do not get this one. Instead, get the 100% cotton shirt above. XS - 3X. See size chart.

Included with every shirt: A 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.


Thanks to Ben Powers for his helpful suggestion about the shirt color—not as dark as the shirt we use for the WWII soldier shirt—and for additional information for the hang tag that helps deliver an even more powerful account of what actually happened.

Thanks to Larisa for getting this all going by pointing out the anniversary last fall and encouraging me to come up with a special design even though, up until then, almost all of our designs were focused on the Revolutionary War.

Thanks to April for the photo of her at Normandy on the 75th and to Tamara for the graduation photo.

D Day Tee ...

Great T ... for a true history nerd.

Perfect color. Love the understated desending trooper.

Great product that gets smiles and the occasional question from those who see it.

Now ... if I could just hear ... "history nerd... bet you're great on dates."

Agree ... that's a bridge too far.

Oh ... is the Market Garden T available?
