"We hold these truths - July 4, 1776” v-neck shirt
Couldn't load pickup availability
Our original design, celebrating July 4th and our nation's Declaration of Independence.
In your choice of two design options:
- “1776" and our nation's first flag on the front with no imprint on the back.
- 1776" and our nation's first flag on the front, and on the back, the text taken 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."
Our design is printed on the same super soft 4.2 ounce t-shirt from Next Level that features a long flattering cut and a deep V. Click on the "See size chart" button below to view the measurements before you select your size. Based on the feedback from buyers, one of whom characterized it as more of a "feminine fit," you might want to order a size larger than you would if you were ordering a standard men's/unisex shirt.
This design is also available on a crewneck shirt in antique denim, crewneck sweatshirt in charcoal, and a grey tank top.
Also in a white 100% cotton Made in USA shirt and on a polycotton shirt in light blue heather, and silver with the 1776 on the front and text from the Declaration at the back.
Also available on a dry-fit style long-sleeved moisture-wicking 100% polyester interlock shirt with SPF 40+ UV protection.
You can also find this design on a static cling, vinyl decal, and boxed notecards with envelope.

Customer Reviews
Would definitely purchase from this site again! I did size up and it fits great!
This is one of the best purchases ever! The shirt is so comfortable, like a favorite you’ve had for years. The saying on the back is the reason I made this purchase, it looks great on the shirt. And the customer service was amazing.
This is like my 6th History List shirt I own. I am in love with their designs and their quality never fails! The shirt is incredibly comfortable. The v-neck styles do run small so I recommend a size up. This shirt is so fun to wear, glad I decided to get it!
Great, friendly and prompt service! T Shirt fits beautifully. Soft and comfortable. Thank you, History List!
I was really pleased with my order, and Lee was helpful through the whole process. I got so many compliments when I wore it on the 4th. The shirt is very soft and light-weight, perfect for summer weather!
