Stay past sunset and the valley changes job. ✨ The heat lets go, the salt flat turns pale under a crescent moon, and the sky fills in until it is the loudest thing out there. This badge is that hour: cracked salt polygons running to a low mountain wall, a thin gold moon and a field of stars over the top, ringed in charcoal and sand gold. It reads DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK around the ring and EST. 1994 beneath the basin.

It prints on a garment-dyed heavyweight tee — sewn first, dyed after, so the colour settles into the cotton instead of sitting on top of it. The shirt arrives already broken in: the weight of a work shirt with the hand of your favourite one, and a slightly uneven, lived-in depth of colour that plain-dyed tees never get. 🏕️ Four garment-dyed shades — Ivory, Blue Jean, Moss and Yam — so the badge sits on a colour that already looks like it has been outside.

• Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed so the colour sits deep and soft
• Weight: 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²) — a true heavyweight that holds its shape
• Construction: twill-taped neck and shoulders, double-needle armhole, sleeve and bottom hems
• Collar: 7/8″ double-needle topstitched rib collar
• Print: full-colour front chest print from a cut-out file — only the badge prints, so there is no printed box or panel around it on any of the four shades

Quick answers

Which park is this? Death Valley National Park in California. The badge shows the cracked salt-pan floor at night beneath the surrounding ranges — Death Valley is one of the darkest night skies in the country.

Why does it say EST. 1994? Death Valley was protected as a national monument for decades, but it was redesignated a national park in 1994.

How does it fit? Relaxed classic fit in a heavyweight cotton, sizes S–3XL. Boxy and soft rather than fitted — take your usual size, or size down for a closer cut.

Is this an official park product? No. This is original RaZits artwork in the vintage national-park badge tradition, printed to order. It is not affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by any government agency.
