Bessie Coleman — Wearable Fine Art Tee | Burrell Archive

The barnstorming aviator, styled as a 1920s Art-Deco flight poster — sunburst, open sky, and the leather cap she actually wore.

First African American and first Native American woman to earn a pilot's license, 1892–1926. Turned away from American flight schools, she learned French, sailed to Paris, and came home a legend of the air.

Each portrait is original art from Burrell Archive, reworked from verified public-domain source images — reverent to the subject, fearless with the paint. Made to order on a Comfort Colors® 1717 garment-dyed heavyweight tee: 100% ring-spun cotton, soft and structured with a lived-in vintage feel, printed just for you. Wearable Fine Art.
