FAQ
What is the difference between the 5000 and 64000?
The 5000 (Heavy Cotton) is your classic, sturdy tee with a boxy fit and thicker fabric—great for a rugged, traditional feel.
The 64000 (Softstyle) is a modern update—lighter, softer, and slightly more fitted (Euro-fit) for a cleaner look.
Do these run true to size?
Yes. The 5000 fits standard and roomy. The 64000 fits true to size but with slightly more tapered sleeves. If you are between sizes and choose the 64000, consider sizing up for extra room.
Will they shrink?
Both are made from cotton (or cotton blends) that can see minor shrinkage if dried on high heat. We always recommend washing cold and drying low (or hanging) to maintain the original length and width.
The flame that was lit in 1776 hasn't gone out. This design carries that conviction in a bold vintage emblem — a torch burning bright at the center, 1776 above and 2026 below, with a banner that says it plain: The Fire Still Burns. A fitting way to mark 250 years, and to say the light is still being tended. Printed on a classic, sturdy tee built to wear like a favorite and last like one too.

The meaning behind the design
The torch has always stood for the same thing: a light passed from one generation to the next, never allowed to go dark. 1776 marks where the flame was lit — the founding conviction that liberty is worth everything it costs. 2026 marks where we stand now, 250 years later, still carrying it. The banner says the rest: the fire still burns. It's a reminder that the work of keeping a nation free is never finished, and that the light only stays lit if someone keeps tending it. Wear it as your part of the watch.
Made for real life
- Built for everyday wear and for the milestone year — cookouts, parades, fireworks, and ordinary days alike.
