Is my payment information secure?
Yes, your payment information is completely secure. We use industry standard encryption technology (SSL) to protect your data during transactions, and we do not store it on our servers. You don’t want us to have it, and we don’t want to hold it.
~~ Marco
What are your business hours?
We work as hard as we can as fast as we can as long as we can Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday we're out and about enjoying the people, places, sports, hobbies, pastimes, things, thoughts that make this great big beautiful country of ours such a beautiful place to live. (Except that being business owners we’re, of course, always thinking about ATB and we get a lot of our best ideas out and about).
~~ Michael
Where can I find my correct size?
On the shirt on your back. Check what you’re wearing.
~~ Janet
Do you ship to APO and FPO military addresses?
Absolutely. If we are not going to take care of our military service members then nobody should be buying from us.
~~ Mack
What sizes do you offer?
Our sizes are controlled by the blank garment suppliers from whom we buy our goods for printing. They are the usual toddler and youth sizes, and when it comes to adults range from small generally to 3XL, and as often as we can source it, 4XL and 5XL. After all, us Americans come in all shapes and sizes, and while it’s a commercial brand, our family views it as an honor and privilege to do the best we can by our national family.
~~ Chris
Are your sizes true to standard apparel sizing?
Yes. We only sell in America, unless we're shipping to our service members stationed overseas via their APO or FPO addresses. So our sizes align with standard U.S. sizing, though fit may vary slightly by style (e.g., slim vs. relaxed fit). We give men solid fits, and we do our best to keep American women lookin’ good in shapelier and fitted cuts.
~~ Chris
How do I know which size is right for me?
Just look at the tag in the shirt on your back and your other shirts. Direct observation rules! If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing up for comfort, unless you’ve got muscles you want to show off.
~~ Chris
How can I help?
Wear your America The Beautiful® or Your America Is Beautiful® shirt into a retailer and in a positive, polite manner suggest they should be selling the brand if they’re not. Tell clubs, churches, high school bands, scout troops, and charities they can do online fundraising for their groups with America The Beautiful® products.
~~ Martin
How do I care for my shirts?
Machine wash in cold water and tumble dry low. To preserve your graphics as long as possible, just wash your America The Beautiful® t-shirts inside out in cold water and avoid high heat drying. Avoid bleach and high-heat drying. Hand wash hats and delicate accessories.
~~ Janet

Do you offer clothing for specific activities or lifestyles?
Yes! We presently offer apparel showing off lifestyles from sea to shining sea, from the mountains to the prairies, and seas white with foam. As things progress, we’ll be adding activity-specific fabrics and features. We offer positive t-shirts, shirts, caps, inspirational bumper stickers, decals, coffee mugs, bags, and accessories, enjoying all the beautiful people, places, things and ideas that make America a wonderful place to live! A fun way to show love of country, positive vibes, and an optimistic lifestyle.
~~ Mike
Do you ship internationally?
Your America The Beautiful® Brand only ships to American military service members and their families stationed overseas via APO or FPO addresses. Otherwise we do not sell outside the United States given the regulatory difficulties of so many nations and the impossible cost of complying with them.
~~ Chris
Why is part of my order on back order?
The supply chain does not always have every single item on hand at the moment of printing. Usually back ordered items are obtained and shipped within two to three days after they are back ordered.
~~ Marco
Do sales taxes apply?
It depends on your state. To the extent that we are required by law to charge and collect taxes on products that we sell, such taxes are automatically calculated and applied by the shopping cart based on the tax laws applicable to your location. At checkout, all appropriate taxes will be added to the order total and sent to your state.
~~ anonymous
(everyone hates taxes so no one would take responsibility for this answer)
Do you accept international orders?
Only from American military service members overseas. We’re sure there are many overseas who would love to wear shirts supporting America. Though we like our friends in Europe and rest of the world, their leaders are too focused on abnormal penalties instead of positive production. Their laws are too complex, restrictive and costly to navigate, and we don’t want the exposure to the risk of their enormous fines. When the overseas governments return to normalcy, we may change this. For these reasons we also market only within the USA. If you are located outside of the United States and you contact us, please be advised that United States’ law may not offer the same privacy protections as the laws of your jurisdiction, and any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By submitting information to us you explicitly authorize this transfer and the processing of this information within the United States.
~~ The ATB Crew
What materials are your products made from?
Most of it is high-quality, USA-grown cotton or cotton blends.
~~ The ATB Crew.
Are your t-shirts pre-shrunk?
Most of our t-shirts are pre-shrunk to help them maintain size and fit after washing.
~~ Marco
Will the prints fade over time?
Everything fades over time. But you can slow the clock. The America The Beautiful® Brand uses state-of-the-art, durable, high-quality printing techniques designed to last. To preserve your American graphic as long as possible, just wash your America The Beautiful® t-shirts inside out in cold water and avoid high heat drying.
~~ Chris
Do you ship orders during weekend or just on weekdays?
America was built on the 5 day work week. Work as hard as you can as fast as you can as long as you can Monday through Friday, and then have a great big adventure-filled or restful weekend. 5 days of work. 2 days of rest or play. And being America The Beautiful, that's what we do because it's fair to all of our workers. Orders are quickly and promptly filled and shipped out Monday through Friday. They will travel during the weekend but we do not make people come in on weekends to ship things out because we'd rather see them out enjoying everything that our forefathers and those before us have worked so hard to build up for us period. Oh what happy fortune in this place to live!
~~ Spenser Lia
Hi there! I’m interested in placing an order and just wanted to check - do you offer a return or refund policy?
Yes. You treat us right. We treat you right. That’s Americans at their finest. But before you think about returning something, know that the America The Beautiful Brand is a big supporter of the public purpose 501(c)(3) America The Beautiful Fund®, and returns negatively affect how much we can support we can give to it. So maybe give it to a friend to spread the word and re-order?
