Established 1620 by Elias Bright, America's first (and most notorious) t-shirt company.

Welcome to Plymouth Shock, where colonial roots collide with rebellious design. Legend has it that Elias Bright arrived on the Mayflower with a silkscreen and a dream—too bold for buckles, too bright for black and white. Today, we carry on his scandalous legacy with t-shirts and gifts that dare to say what others won’t.

Every design in our collections are a shot of wit, color, and unapologetic originality. Inspired by Bright’s outlaw spirit and unfiltered creativity, our shirts don’t just make a statement—they start conversations.

You won’t find Plymouth Shock anywhere else in town—not in tourist traps or gift shops. Just here online, or at our brand-new bouTEEque opening May 2025 at
114 Water Street, Plymouth, MA.

History’s never looked so good.
