PRODUCT DETAILS

Scrimshaw is an early American art form originating from the whaling industry in the late 1700’s. During the many idle hours at sea, a whaler etched drawings of nautical themes on items that were readily available to him such as sperm whale teeth and bones. His primary etching instrument was a sail needle, nail or pocket knife. After he scratched his art work into the surface of the bone, he would rub lamp black or tobacco juice into the scratch to reveal the drawing. As America traveled west, the frontiersmen carried the art form with them, applying it to their powder-horns, knives and other accoutrements.  

Lock-back (3 5/8” closed).

MADE BY HAND IN BRENHAM, TEXAS

Ballad Originals

ONE OF A KIND, BY DESIGN

Every Ballad Original is designed in-house, right here in Brenham — often hand in hand with local artists we know and trust.

That means each design is 100% original. You won't find it anywhere else, on anyone else. When you wear a Ballad tee or hat, you're wearing a piece of art with a story behind it.

ONLY THE GOOD STUFF

We print on heavyweight Comfort Colors® blanks — the kind that feels broken-in from day one and only softens with age. No thin, scratchy throwaways. Just garment-dyed weight that holds its color and earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

HAND SCREEN PRINTED TO LAST

We hand screen print every piece ourselves. It's slower and harder than the cheap way, but it's worth it — the ink sits right, the graphic holds, and your shirt stays sharp for years, not months.

THIS IS OUR WAY
