Tun Tavern Marine Corps Tribute T-Shirt – Born in a Bar Est. 1775 – Black Bella+Canvas | Free Shipping

BORN IN A BAR. BUILT FOR BATTLE. EST. 1775.

Before the United States Marine Corps became one of the world's most respected fighting forces, its story began in Philadelphia in 1775. According to Marine Corps tradition, the legendary Tun Tavern served as a gathering and recruiting place for the first Continental Marines.

The Tun Tavern – Born in a Bar T-Shirt celebrates that legendary heritage with a bold, vintage tavern-inspired design honoring more than 250 years of Marine Corps history.

Featuring distressed antique-gold lettering, deep red accents, a colonial tavern illustration, and the iconic words TUN TAVERN – BORN IN A BAR, this shirt captures the proud, rebellious spirit of the Marines.

Printed on a comfortable T-shirt, the weathered design delivers an authentic old-school appearance that looks right at home at a Marine Corps birthday celebration, veterans gathering, backyard barbecue, or your favorite local tavern.

A tribute to the Few. The Proud. The Marines.

A Piece of Marine Corps History

On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized the raising of two battalions of Continental Marines. The Tun Tavern in Philadelphia became part of Marine Corps legend as a place associated with the recruitment of those early fighting men.

Today, Marines around the world celebrate November 10 as the birthday of their Corps.

This shirt keeps that tradition alive with a design inspired by an old colonial tavern sign and the unmistakable Marine Corps expression:

BORN IN A BAR. EST. 1775.
