About This Design

The Serapis (John Paul Jones flag) T-Shirt

The Serapis (John Paul Jones flag) T-Shirt

At the Battle of Flamborough Head in 1779, U.S. Navy Captain John Paul Jones captured the British ship HMS Serapis, but his own ship sank. Jones was now commanding the Serapis without an U.S. Ensign. Jones sailed the captured ship to the neutral Dutch Republic, but with no ensign, and the British claiming piracy, Jones renamed his capture USS Serapis and an improvized U.S. Ensign was made based on a sketch which the Dutch had put together based on a description of the US Flag. So essentially, the flag is an unseen interpretation of what the US flag might look like, based on a single written description. This quirky, alternate flag remains popular and can be found on a wide range of our products.

The Shirt itself is a really nice, high quality material. Its quite thick and the colour is spot on whats in the pictures. The print is 100% what I wanted and the overall product is amazing. I ordered a 2XL which is already pretty big, it came a lot larger than I expected so next time i would order a smaller size, but thats down to me. It came just in time and the staff were super helpful in speeding up the shipping process for me so it would arrive on time. The printing turned out better than i could've imagined. I was very skeptical at first and wasnt sure how it was going to look, but it honestly looks awesome. So happy with it :)
