There's a great scene in the film Tombstone in which Doc Holiday (played by Val Kilmer) tells Johnny Ringo, "I'll be your Huckleberry".

For a long time, I had thought that phrase meant: "I'm the man for the job, and I'm here to stand-up for my friends through thick and thin". While it can and does carry that meaning (see "Huckleberry Finn" too), it also has another explanation:

In the 19th Century, the handles on a coffin were called "Huckles" and the person who carried the casket at a funeral was called a "Hucklebearer". So in that famous scene in Tombstone, perhaps what Doc Holiday was really saying to Johnny Ringo was, "I'll be your Hucklebearer". Basically, he was saying that after the gun fight was over that he would, "be the one to carry you to your grave".

That's a heavy concept for a T-shirt… In any case, this collection of handcrafted type was inspired by the aforementioned concept, and enlightened by further context. This Huckleberry Lightweight Hoodie with cool type makes a great gift. RIP Val Kilmer!
