 Historical Background behind the Design

The Iron Brigade, also known as The Black Hats, Black Hat Brigade, Iron Brigade of the West, and originally King's Wisconsin Brigade was an infantry brigade in the Union Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. Although it fought entirely in the Eastern Theater, it was composed of regiments from three Western states that are now within the region of the Midwest. Noted for its strong discipline, its unique uniform appearance and its tenacious fighting ability, the Iron Brigade suffered the highest percentage of casualties of any brigade in the war.

The nickname "Iron Brigade", with its connotation of fighting men with iron dispositions, was applied formally or informally to a number of units in the Civil War and in later conflicts. The Iron Brigade of the West was the unit that received the most lasting publicity in its use of the nickname.

Love this tee!

I did my thesis on the Sixth Wisconsin, which was a part of the Iron Brigade, and it's great to have this tee to remind me. Most of the battles are listed on the back and it's soft. It washes up really nice and fits true to size. I love it!

Being from Wisconsin and a student of the ACW I could not resist this fine product. My only fear is wearing it out and not being able to replace it.
