“The Character of the User” — Teddy Roosevelt M16 Quote T-Shirt — Courage. Integrity. Responsibility.

Description

Courage. Integrity. Responsibility.

Straight from the rugged wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt, this Powder & Lead exclusive shirt captures the essence of American grit — both on the range and in the republic.

“A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.”
— Teddy Roosevelt

This isn’t just a quote — it’s a creed. Roosevelt understood that power, whether political or personal, means nothing without virtue and discipline behind it. Whether you carry a ballot or a rifle, it’s character that defines how you use it.

Printed beneath a striking historical image of Roosevelt astride his horse — rifle in hand, hat pulled low under the western sun — this shirt speaks to those who believe that strength and integrity go hand in hand. It’s a piece of wearable philosophy for men and women who stand for both readiness and responsibility.

Design Story

The design features an authentic vintage photograph of Teddy Roosevelt, one of America’s most enduring symbols of leadership, resolve, and rugged morality. A man who lived as he spoke — a soldier, hunter, statesman, and conservationist — Roosevelt embodied the connection between principle and action.

The sepia-toned image is paired with his timeless quote in crisp, modern lettering, balancing the historic with the contemporary. The result is a design that commands attention without shouting — understated power with a message that resonates.

It’s not just apparel. It’s a declaration: that freedom, like a firearm, is only as good as the hands that hold it.
