The Tee that Started It All.
In late 2020, Ian Wendt, our founder and CEO, saw an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of small businesses struggling to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He turned to his substantial social media following and asked for help to support a few small businesses.
His followers exceeded any and all expectations, coming together to raise tens of thousands of dollars in just a few hours, without asking about the beneficiaries’ political affiliations, religious beliefs, or backgrounds.
This display of unity and kindness inspired Ian, and he wanted to give his growing community a way to show their support for small businesses and their love for their country. The Patriot tee was born, representing the values of patriotism: love for one’s country, a desire for its people to be free and thrive, and a willingness to defend their freedoms.
This is that tee. The one that started it all and began the Patriot movement. If you’re going to own one piece of Patriot Gear, this should be it.
Since When did Patriotism Become Partisan?
Patriotism is not partisan. Patriotism is not exclusive to one group or individual. If you love your country and your countrymen, you are a patriot. If you want to see your country be free and thrive and are willing to defend your country and that freedom, you are a patriot.
Our message is simple: We are sick and tired of the lies and hatred that are continually used to divide us. We value truth over lies, unity over division, and above all, we value freedom.
When you buy from Official Patriot Gear Apparel, you’re buying more than just “merch”. You’re supporting a movement made up of like-minded patriots that seek to abolish the hate, lies, and division that plagues our world. United we stand; divided we fall.
About our Apparel
We have a reputation for producing the highest quality apparel.
- High-Quality Fabric and Print. A blend of 60% ringspun cotton and 40% polyester provides the perfect compromise of comfort and durability. Ringspun cotton is noticeably finer, softer, and more durable than standard cotton.
- Preshrunk True to Size Fit. Nobody likes shrinkage, so don’t worry. Even after many cycles through the washer/dryer, it will fit (and look) just as it did the day you bought it.
