The back graphic is a carefully curated collage drawn from public domain engravings and vintage archival imagery. You'll find the Memorial's intricate stained glass, the towering exterior, and portraits of the President himself—assembled to evoke the grandeur of the era. On the front, the JAG monogram, drawn from 1889 Memorial documents, offers a subtle historical accent that nods to the memorial's archival provenance without shouting branding.

Crafted on a premium ivory heavyweight tee using the legendary Comfort Colors 1717, this shirt delivers a relaxed, boxy fit with a lived-in feel right out of the package. The 100% ring-spun cotton fabric weighs 6.1 oz, delivering substantial warmth and durability for daily wear, while maintaining a soft, comfortable touch against the skin. Soft-washed and garment-dyed to minimize shrinkage and maximize vintage texture, this shirt settles into a timeless look that ages gracefully with each wash. It's more than clothing—it's a wearable homage to a pivotal moment in American cultural and architectural history.
