Well we’ve upped the design on the Art of Manliness website and we thought it was time to up the coolness of our t-shirts as well. We’ve teamed up with the awesome men at Tankfarm Clothing ^[2] to create a new line of AoM shirts. Not only are the designs uber manly, the t-shirts themselves are of the highest quality, baby soft, and fit nicely to your manly physique.

There are 5 new designs to choose from. The first 3 are odes to the greatest and manliest man of all time, Theodore Roosevelt:

The Bull Moose Party ^[3]

Concerned about the direction the country was going in, in 1912 TR ran for an unprecedented third term as President. When it became clear that the Republican party bosses were not going to nominate him, he bolted the convention and formed the Progressive Party, otherwise known as the Bull Moose Party. Show your support for the greatest third party in American history with this awesome tee.

Rough Rider ^[4]

Before TR was prez, he led a special regiment of the country’s best frontiersmen, cowboys, marksmen and all-around bad asses to glory in the Spanish-American War. The manliest military force in history, they were known as the Rough Riders.

Strong as a Bull Moose ^[5]

The Progressive Party got its nickname when reporters questioned whether TR was fit for office and he retorted, “I’m as fit as a bull moose!” Later during the campaign, Roosevelt was shot by a would-be assassin. The bullet lodged in his ribs, but instead of seeking immediate medical attention he proceeded to an auditorium where thousands were waiting to hear him speak. He showed them his bloody shirt and declared: “I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to stop a Bull Moose!” He then proceeded to speak for 90 minutes before finally consenting to be taken to the hospital.

For those less, well, obsessed with Theodore Roosevelt, we offer two just generally awesome and manly designs:

Gentlemen’s Boxing Club ^[6]

^[6]

Okay, so we still found a way to sneak a little TR into this one. What can I say; we can’t help ourselves.

Razor Sharp ^[7]

^[7]

Barbershops are some of the very last bastions of manliness. Convince your friends to forever forsake Supercuts by wearing this shirt.

All the tees are $16.50 and can be ordered from the Tankfarm/Art of Manliness store. ^[8] If you don’t have the scratch to buy one, don’t forget that you can obtain a shirt the good old fashioned way: by earning one. Participte in the Art of Manliness Community ^[9], accumulate manliness 1,000 points, and you’ve got yourself a shirt. Of course if you can wait more than a day to get one of these babies, then brother, you’re a better man than me.

Many, many thanks to the manly men of Tankfarm ^[10] tees for putting these shirts and the AoM store together for us. You are outstanding men and we are proud to be associated with you.
