Thomas E. Dewey presidential reproduction t-shirt featuring the "Don't be an Ass Vote for Dewey" slogan. It's made of a thicker, heavier cotton, but it's still soft and comfy. And the double stitching on the neckline and sleeves add more durability to what is sure to be a favorite!

The original image was an unofficial, but popular, button. We took the original and made these cool shirts. Fun fact: perhaps the first use of t-shirts as a promotional medium (or at least the oldest t-shirt with a printed slogan) was in 1948, when presidential candidate Governor Thomas E. Dewey printed the slogan “Dew-It with Dewey” on t-shirts during his campaign. You can see one of the original t-shirts for yourself at The Smithsonian Institute, which has it on permanent display.
