Updated September 29: We're closing out this design. All shirts are $10 off.

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.  

"1775" on the front, and on the back, the list of towns who responded to the Lexington Alarm by sending militia companies. (It is not a list of towns where fighting took place.)  The list is based on the muster rolls and uses the names of the towns as they were then known.  (Regarding Arlington, in 1775 most of present day Arlington was part of Cambridge and called the Menotomy Precinct.  It was later incorporated as a separate town, West Cambridge, and later still, the name was changed to Arlington.)  Author and historian J.L. Bell has taken a close look at this and written about it here and here.

The shirt:

  • Heather charcoal with red and blue - 50/50 Polycotton blend. 4.4 oz. Knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. 4.3 oz. Sizes: S - 2XL.

Please check the size chart before ordering.

    This design is also available in a crewneck shirt for men and women.

    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.

    And watch the "Parker's Revenge" battle reenactment along Battle Road Trail in Minute Man National Historical Park.

    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.

            Love the simple 1775

            Growing up in Massachusetts on evacuation day always brings me so many proud moments in history.

            Thanks for keeping history alive!
