Bill of Rights T-Shirt

This is direct constitutional advocacy that will absolutely be read as confrontational by people who prioritize emotional safety over free expression. "Bill of Rights, Not Bill of Feelings" explicitly rejects the modern tendency to restrict speech, guns, or other rights based on emotional reactions. In conservative areas, constitutional circles, originalist communities, and among people who've actually read the Bill of Rights, this resonates as defending founding principles. In progressive areas, college campuses, or among people who view constitutional rights as flexible based on contemporary values, this will offend. This tee is for people who believe the ten amendments mean what they say regardless of whose feelings get hurt. If you're comfortable publicly stating that rights trump feelings, wear this anywhere. If you avoid confrontation or think constitutional text should adapt to modern sensitivities, this isn't for you.

Quality cotton experiences normal initial shrinkage expect 3-5% with first wash, standard for natural cotton. After initial wash, properly cared-for cotton stabilizes. To minimize shrinkage: wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry. Cheap tees use inferior cotton that shrinks dramatically and continues shrinking with every wash. This uses better cotton that stabilizes after first cycle. Many people size up one if they want guaranteed loose fit or plan to machine dry on high heat regularly. Check measurements if fit is critical. This is real cotton for comfort and breathability—expect natural fabric behavior, not synthetic blend that never shrinks but feels uncomfortable during outdoor activities.

Quality printing on cotton maintains clarity and the intentional distressed aesthetic significantly better than cheap screen printing. The weathered look is designed appearance, not actual deterioration. The flag and text won't crack off in chunks or fade to ghost images like discount tees. Proper care (wash inside out, cold water, tumble dry low or hang dry) keeps graphics clear and readable for years. All printed cotton shows gradual wear with heavy use expect slight softening after hundreds of washes—but this is built for people who wear their constitutional convictions regularly. The message will stay as clear as the Bill of Rights text itself through long-term wear.

This is constitutional originalism—the belief that the Bill of Rights established unchanging protections for individual liberty that don't bend based on emotional reactions. It explicitly rejects the modern concept that speech should be restricted to avoid hurting feelings or that rights should be limited based on fear. Many constitutionalists believe the entire purpose of rights is to protect unpopular, uncomfortable, and even offensive expression and action—that's why they needed constitutional protection. This tee says that clearly without apology. People who prioritize emotional safety, trigger warnings, safe spaces, or content warnings will find this offensive—and that's the point. Rights exist precisely because they protect things that make people uncomfortable. If you believe constitutional text matters more than contemporary emotional preferences, this represents your position. If you think that's cruel or insensitive, don't buy it.

Standard unisex sizing that fits similar to typical casual tees. Not slim-fit fashion or oversized streetwear—just classic comfortable tee fit. Soft cotton drapes naturally without being baggy or restrictive. Check size chart for specific measurements if you're between sizes or have fit preferences. Most people order their normal tee size. For looser fit or to account for any cotton shrinkage, size up one. The fabric is substantial enough to not be see-through but not thick enough to be uncomfortable in warm weather. Built for actual daily wear during range trips, rallies, outdoor activities, and casual settings where constitutional advocates gather.
