What 03801 Means on This Shirt
The 03801 Zip Code of Portsmouth
03801 is the primary postal zip code assigned to Portsmouth, New Hampshire — a seacoast city on the Piscataqua River at the Maine border. Portsmouth is one of the oldest cities in the US, incorporated in 1653, with a downtown defined by colonial brick architecture, working waterfront piers, and Market Square. The zip code covers the historic downtown core, Prescott Park, and the South End neighborhoods that long-time residents recognize as the heart of the city. For anyone who left Portsmouth behind, five digits carry more weight than an address — they mark the place where the story started. Part of the Local Data Shirts collection.
This shirt features a fixed Portsmouth, NH design. For a personalized zip code shirt with any US city, see Custom Zip Code Shirts.

Why Comfort Colors for a Hometown Hometown Shirt
Comfort Colors is a brand under Hanes Brands, established in 1979. The Style 1717 uses 100% ring-spun US cotton at 6.1 oz/yd², dyed after full garment construction. The post-construction dye process pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in less than 3% shrinkage after home washing. The soft-washed surface produces a matte, broken-in texture across the fabric face. Garment-dyeing produces surface tone variation across individual units; no 2 shirts carry an identical shade. A hometown pride shirt that looks brand-new misses the point. The worn-in feel matches the memory.
All GGIT Apparel Hometown Shirts are printed on the Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed tee.
