We Built This Shirt

This adult unisex t-shirt features a powerful historical statement, displaying the text "WE BUILT THIS" above an iconic 1943 photograph of Black women working as trackwomen for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Capturing five determined women holding shovels on the tracks, this design honors the vital contributions, strength, and resilience of Black women in American labor history. The shirt is made of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, offering a lightweight 4.2 oz fabric for breathability and a soft feel. Side seams and a ribbed knit crew neck with a seam and shoulder tape ensure shape retention, a polished neckline, and an improved fit. Each tee is responsibly manufactured and REACH certified, featuring a tear-away label for added comfort and to reduce skin irritation. To maintain the print quality, machine wash cold and tumble dry on low heat, using non-chlorine bleach only as needed. Iron, steam, or dry on medium heat, and do not dry clean. Customization is available upon request.
