America's 250th year deserves better than another imported flag mug. If you're buying for a man who takes God and country seriously, give him something actually made in America — cotton grown, milled, cut, sewn, and printed on American soil — carrying a design he'll have to explain when people ask. Every piece below is a heavyweight 6.1 oz Bayside 5100, $44.99, printed to order in the USA.
