"I Purple Heart New Jersey" Tee

Look closely. That is not a red heart. That is a Purple Heart, the one they hand out for taking damage in combat, and if you have survived a Tuesday on the turnpike you have absolutely earned it. Jughandles that make you turn right to go left. Tolls that hit harder than your rent. A guy in a vest pumping your gas while you sit there like royalty, which is honestly the one unambiguous win. This is for the people who have been wounded in the pork roll versus the other name war, who have smelled the refinery stretch and said "that's just home," who spent a July weekend crawling toward the shore at eleven miles an hour and still called it a vacation. Loving this state is a battlefield injury. Wear your medal. Built soft, built sturdy, and broken in from the first wash, with a print that holds its color through diners, beach days, and every questionable decision in between. Comfortable enough to live in, tough enough to keep up.
