Apparel Size Guide

How to measure

To ensure you choose the best size, we recommend taking a favorite shirt from your wardrobe, laying it flat on a table, measuring the width and length, and comparing those numbers to the manufacturer charts below.

  • Chest Width: Lay your shirt flat and measure across the front from side seam to side seam, approximately one inch below the armpit. Double this number if you need the full circumference.
  • Body Length: Measure in a straight line from the highest point of the shoulder (beside the collar) down to the bottom hem.

Garment care recommendations

To maintain fabric softness and print durability:

  • Machine wash cold inside out with similar colors using mild detergent.
  • Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve shape and avoid excessive shrinking.
  • Do not iron directly on printed graphics or embroidery.

About this design

A Raising Patriots shirt and hoodie with Faith, Family, Freedom and three stripes for patriotic moms and parents, printed on tees and mugs.

The Raising Patriots design arches the phrase RAISING PATRIOTS above FAITH * FAMILY * FREEDOM, three horizontal flag-inspired stripes, and five stars. Built for parents who take pride in teaching their kids American history, civic gratitude, and traditional family values, it turns an everyday parenting mission into a clean, wearable emblem.

This design is especially popular with moms and grandmas on relaxed garment-dyed Ivory, Vintage White, and heather tees, as well as cozy hoodies and travel tumblers. Because Mother's Day in May leads directly into Memorial Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July, it makes a timely spring and summer gift for school field trips, hometown parades, family reunions, and 250th anniversary events in 2026.

Every item is custom-printed to order in colorways tailored to light, dark, and red backgrounds. You can choose the Raising Patriots artwork on garment-dyed heavyweight tees, lightweight cotton tees, pullover hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, and tank tops, plus insulated tumblers, ceramic mugs, vinyl stickers, and magnets.
