Pickett's Charge – Gettysburg, July 3, 1863
The High Water Mark of the Confederacy
On the afternoon of July 3, 1863, nearly 12,500 Confederate soldiers stepped out of the tree line and began the most consequential mile-long march in American history. What followed — the assault on Cemetery Ridge, the desperate breakthrough at the Angle, and General Lee's quiet acceptance of responsibility — became the defining moment of the Civil War. This shirt carries that story across every inch of fabric.
The Artwork
Cinematic, all-over print artwork wraps the chest, sleeves, and back in a richly detailed battlefield scene: a commander rallying troops beneath smoke and flags, the chaos of the advance, and the weight of what was lost. The warm, earthen palette — burnt gold, smoke grey, deep black — reads like a period illustration brought to life. The words Courage · Sacrifice · Honor · History anchor the hem.
The Garment
Built for the outdoors and the historically curious, this long-sleeve UV protection shirt performs as well as it looks. The 88% polyester / 12% spandex blend moves with you, dries fast, and blocks up to SPF 50 of sun exposure — practical for reenactments, battlefield tours, or any day spent outside.
