"I Purple Heart Virginia" Long Sleeve Shirt

A purple heart is not a regular heart. A purple heart is a heart that has been through something. And if you have survived a Virginia summer, where the humidity shows up in May and refuses to leave like a roommate who stopped paying rent, you have earned this badge honestly. This is for the people who have sat motionless on the interstate for two hours to go eleven miles, who have watched a thick yellow layer of pollen bury their car every spring, who have experienced seventy degrees and a snow squall in the same calendar day. You love it here. It has absolutely bruised you. Both things are true, and now you can wear the receipts, probably while eating salty ham and peanuts for reasons you cannot fully explain. Soft enough to live in, with a relaxed fit that handles mountain mornings and swampy afternoons without complaint. The print stays sharp wash after wash, so your commitment looks just as loud in year three.
