About Us

Founded in Wilmington NC by descendants of the Hancock family. The same energy that boldly autographed the declaration is the same energy we carry throughout our lives today. All products are printed and shipped from the US. Our mentality is simple: We make shirts for our lifestyle. If you like them too, that's a huge bonus. 

“Guns and butter” is an economic concept that represents the trade-off between a nation's investment in defense (guns) and civilian goods (butter). It comes from the idea that a country has limited resources, so it must choose how to allocate them — more spending on the military means less for domestic needs, and vice versa.

In a broader or cultural sense, especially in hip-hop and street culture, “guns and butter” can symbolize the difference between:

• "Guns" – things that hold long-term value, like assets, power, or knowledge
• "Butter" – flashy, short-term luxuries like jewelry, cars, or unnecessary spending
