On the Fourth of July, 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into a one-room cabin he built himself on Walden Pond. He called it his own declaration of independence: a man deciding what he actually needed, and what he could do without. The country could stand to hear that again.
This design puts Thoreau at the water's edge at dusk, fireworks going off over the far shore, under the words Independence in Nature. The full design is printed on the back.
THE SHIRT
This is the everyday version: the same art printed large on the back, with the Porcupine Press mark small on the left chest. Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex tee, soft lightweight ring-spun cotton, retail fit, true to size. Want the heavyweight garment-dyed version with a real chest pocket? Look for the Pocket Tee in the shop.
CARE
Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Don't iron the print.
