The details

Spoken into the worst of the Great Depression, and still the best advice going. Franklin D. Roosevelt opened his first inaugural address in March 1933 to a country in freefall: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Banks were closing, a quarter of the country was out of work, and he led with courage rather than comfort. Set as a letterpress broadside in clean condensed caps with the closing line in brick red, framed by stars, rules and a laurel. Why you'll reach for this tee: Heavyweight, garment-dyed comfort - 6.1 oz/yd2 of 100% ring-spun cotton Broken-in softness and a lived-in look from the very first wear Relaxed unisex fit, true to size Double-needle collar and twill-taped shoulders, built to last Clean letterpress-style typography - the quote reads at arm's length Part of a presidential-quote series in the same navy-and-cream broadside style Perfect for: History buffs and students of American oratory Anyone facing something hard and choosing to face it anyway Teachers, coaches and motivational gifts Graduations, new jobs and fresh starts Fourth of July and Presidents Day Pairing with the rest of the presidential-quote series Nothing to fear but fear itself.
