FAQ
How does this shirt fit?
These are a "retail fit," meaning they are slightly more tailored and fitted through the torso and sleeves than a standard boxy tee. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up one size.
Will it shrink in the wash?
These tees are pre-shrunk, so significant shrinkage is rare. However, 100% cotton can naturally contract slightly (about 3-5%) in the first wash, especially with heat. Following our Easy Care Guide (wash cold, hang dry) keeps the fit perfect.
Is the fabric soft?
Extremely. We chose this premium airlume combed cotton because it feels broken-in right out of the bag—lightweight, breathable, and smooth against the skin, not starch-stiff like cheaper alternatives.
Some shirts just say where you stand. This one carries the message that started it all — United We Stand arched above a patriotic handshake, red, white, and blue cuffs locked in agreement, 1776 anchored beneath. It's a quiet declaration you can wear on a Tuesday, built on a soft, everyday tee that feels broken-in from the first wear.
Why you'll love it
- Soft, breathable Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton that wears easy from morning coffee to evening porch sitting.
- A clean, confident graphic — the handshake and 1776 read clear and crisp, a founding-era promise rendered with care, not clutter.
- Lightweight, retail-fit drape that layers smoothly under a flannel or jacket and stands on its own when the weather warms.
- Built to hold its shape and keep the print sharp, so it stays in your weekly rotation for the long haul.
Details & fit
- Fit: Unisex retail fit with a classic, slightly tailored silhouette; stay true to size for a standard fit or size up for a relaxed drape.
- Fabric: 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton (solid colors, approx. 4.2 oz/yd²); heather and athletic shades blend in cotton and polyester for an extra-soft hand.
- Construction: Side-seamed with shoulder taping for better shape retention and lasting durability.
- Print/finish: Front graphic tuned for clarity and longevity, designed to resist fading and cracking over time.
- Comfort: Set-in collar with a smooth, lightweight feel that's easy to wear all day.
The meaning behind the design
The handshake is older than the country it helped build — a symbol of agreement made in good faith, of people choosing to stand together rather than apart. Paired with 1776, it points back to the founding conviction that we're stronger united, bound by shared principle. Wearing it isn't loud. It's a steady reminder of where you stand and who you stand with.
