Tatanka

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-SHSIRT,
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 Buffalo, or "Tatanka" as they called them, was the main source of Food, Clothing and Shelter for the Indians of the Plains before the American government set out to kill all the Buffalo to get the Indians to submit and move to reservations. They almost succeeded, where there were once herds numbering in the millions, only a few thousand survived. When the slaughter was done the prairie was said to be white with their bones. To the Indians of the Plains the Buffalo symbolized, Strength, Survival, Abundance, Generosity, Courage and giving for the greater good. The Indians only killed when they needed food and they used every part of the Great Beasts. They always thanked the Buffalo for the giving of its life so they could survive and they gave thanks to the Creator, "The Great Spirit" for providing food and shelter.

A “Eagle” 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 "Eagle 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.
