Our original design, celebrating July 4th and our nation's Declaration of Independence.

On the front, "1776" and our nation's first flag.

On the back, text from the original vellum copy that the delegates signed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness — July 4, 1776." 

The shirt: We’re offering your choice of fabrics and colors:
  • White - 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt — Grown, knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. Heavier weight, 5.4 oz. Your best choice if you're looking for a 100% Made in the USA shirt. Sizes S - 5XL. this shirt runs small. Order one size up from what you normally wear. With "1776" on the front and  on the front and back. See size chart.
    Care: Wash white shirts in cold so that the colors don't run.
  • Light blue heather and silver - Our standard 4.3 oz. poly-cotton shirt 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. Sizes XS - 3XL. Note that "silver" is really more of a pewter color.  See size chart.
  • Also available on a dry-fit style long-sleeved moisture-wicking 100% polyester interlock shirt with SPF 40+ UV protection.

We have this design on these shirts and sweatshirts:

You can also find this design on a static cling, vinyl decal, and boxed notecards with envelope.
