The Story Behind the Shirt
Fifty-six men signed it and pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." What they staked it on was a sentence about where rights come from: that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Not granted by a king, and not a government's to take back. The same Declaration says governments are instituted "to secure these rights." God gives; government guards.
On the back: "ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR" in tall engraved capitals above a rolled parchment with red wax seals and a quill, set in a burst of gold rays, and "WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS" beneath. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. More patriotic shirts made in the USA.
Built like a conviction: printed on the Bayside 5100 — 100% US-grown cotton, spun, knit, cut, and sewn on American soil, then printed to order in the USA. Dirt to shirt, no exceptions. Veteran-owned. Est. 1765.
