Hops' Scrimshaw
Welcome to our "Grizzly Spirit" T-Shirt page.

We are proud to present our line of Really Awesome T-Shirts.

The actual size of the designs on our T-Shirts are approximately
9" wide by 12" tall, unfortunately we are not able to show them at
their actual size here.
The designs are silk screened on a light tan colored T-Shirt,
the color is referred to as "Natural" color, basically it's an unbleached cotton.
We use a dark brown ink which gives us great contrast on the light
tan shirt. After screening the image on, the ink is "Heat Set" to minimize
fading. These are "HOP'S" original designs drawn with pen & ink, specifically
intended for reproduction onto T-Shirts, the detail captured is awesome.

To insure we have an ample supply of the TAN COLOR SHIRTS, we buy 2
different name brands, both of which are recognized for their quality. The shirt
you receive will be either a "Gildan" or a "Hanes," both are heavy weight
100% cotton, the material is 6oz whereas the average T-shirts you buy
at most stores are only 4oz material. Both of these brands are pre-shrunk
so order the size you need, don't figure on much shrinkage at all.

The Grizzly Bear scene in the center of the hoop represents a vision its owner may have received on a vision quest. The hoop itself is a sacred symbol, symbolizing the cycle, or circle of life every living thing has to travel. The hoop is shown wrapped with a buckskin thong with feathers and other highly prized items tied around the outside of the hoop. At the top there is a Medicine Wheel tied to the clump of feathers, Other items tied to the hoop include an Eagle wing bone whistle, an Eagle Foot, braided Sweet Grass, a Sage Bundle, Elk's Teeth, Dew Claws from a Deer, and at the bottom, A Grizzly Claw tied to a Medicine Bundle. If you look close at the Eagle feathers hanging down the sides, there are images of several different animals faintly hidden in the dark feather tips, a Bear, Wolf, Cougar, Eagle, Buffalo and more.

A “Bear” is one of the 8 Boy Scout “Wood Badge” patrol totems assigned to adult leaders when they take this specialized training. This T-Shirt would make a wonderful gift for that Friend or Family Member that has spent many hours and has successfully completed the Boy Scout Wood Badge Adult Leader Training in the "Bear Patrol." He or she has worked hard to learn more about how they can better serve and help shape the Future Leaders of our Great Country. They deserve something special.
