Frequently Asked Questions
Is your apparel really made in the USA?
Yes — and we mean it literally. We build only on American 'dirt to shirt' blanks where the cotton is grown, spun, knit, dyed, and sewn in the United States. Most 'patriotic' apparel is printed on imported blanks; ours never is. That is the heart of the brand, not a marketing line.
What blank do you print on?
Our flagship is the Bayside 5100 — a 6.1 oz heavyweight, 100% American-grown cotton tee, knit, dyed, cut, and sewn in the USA. Bayside has built garments dirt-to-shirt on American soil since 1995, with nearly 500 American hands touching every shirt. It is a substantial, true-to-size tee built to outlast the trend cycle.
How are the designs printed?
Every piece is printed to order in the United States using a premium full-color transfer process that bonds vivid, durable artwork into the cotton — rich detail that holds up wash after wash.
When will my order ship, and what does shipping cost?
Because every garment is made to order in the USA, allow roughly 5–10 business days for production and delivery — you'll receive tracking the moment it ships. U.S. shipping is a flat $6.99, and free on every order over $55.
How do the shirts fit?
Our heavyweight tees run true to size with a classic, durable fit. If you're between sizes or prefer a relaxed look, size up. Full measurements are on each product page.
What's your return policy?
We stand behind our work. If anything is wrong with your order, reach out and we'll make it right. Because every item is made to order, please review sizing before you purchase.
Who is behind 1765 Apparel Co?
We are veteran-owned and operated. Our founder served as a UH-60 Blackhawk crew chief across two combat tours in Iraq and is a 4th-Degree Knight of Columbus. This brand isn't a marketing angle — it's the continuation of an oath: faith, family, and country.
Why '1765'?
1765 is the year the British Stamp Act lit the fire of the American Revolution — the spark of a people who refused to kneel. Our mission is to bring back that spirit, for God and Country.
Are you connected to 1765 Sanctum?
Yes. 1765 Apparel is the 'God & Country' arm of the 1765 house; 1765 Sanctum is its 'God & Men' ministry. Same conviction, two missions — altar, arms, and allegiance.
