Welcome to our "Eagle 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.

Silk screening done by Jim Gibbons, Des Moines,
Iowa
Contact information provided by request.
This is a shield design with a strip of cloth lashed around the edges with a buckskin thong, the cloth used was often blanket material and the maker would leave strips hanging down on each side for decoration, the lighter colored stripes shown would be from the edge of the blanket. The Eagle scene in the center of the shield represents a vision its
owner may have received on a vision quest. In addition to the blanket edging, feathers and other highly
prized items were tied around the outside edge of the shield. At the top there is a Medicine
Bundle tied to the clump of feathers, Other items tied to the shield include an
Eagle wing bone whistle, an Eagle Foot, a medicine wheel, a few cowrie shells, a conch shell disc with a couple of ermine tails, assorted Hawk feathers and a couple of immature Eagle feathers. At the bottom next to the Eagle foot, there is a scalp lock probably taken from an enemy in battle. 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 “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.
