About this design

A Guardians of the Republic since 1775 shirt and cap with five stars, for veterans who see their service as part of a long American chain.

GUARDIANS OF THE REPUBLIC, SINCE 1775, a gold rule, and U.S. VETERAN are stacked beneath five stars. The date points to the Continental Congress's decision in June 1775 to raise a standing force, more than a year before independence was declared. The phrase treats that decision as the start of a long responsibility rather than a single war.

It is for veterans who think of their service as part of a chain that runs back through generations, and for families who want a design that is patriotic without being loud. The layout works on a shirt, a hoodie, or a cap for a Veterans Day service, a naturalization ceremony, or everyday wear.

Our dad hats and mesh trucker caps carry the design in direct embroidery. The garment-dyed heavyweight tees, long-sleeve shirts, pullover hoodies, ceramic mugs, and vinyl stickers are printed to order.
