100% preshrunk cotton, fitted T with lava wash and tattered hems for a custom vintage look and feel, super soft and comfortable to the touch.
Before going out on operations in Iraq or Afghanistan, SEAL Team members would sometimes recite the INVICTUS poem as a silent prayer. The poem was originally written by William Henley in 1875 and has been used in countless instances of people overcoming adversity, including being read to the Country after 9/11 in a national address by then Secretary of State Colin Powell. In our shirt of the same name, the entire poem runs horizontally across the chest between the wings, and the eighth line of the poem "Bloodied, but unbowed" is framed across the back of the shirt.
INVICTUS
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Henley 1875
