"Bastooowwnnngh" Tee-Shirt

/ bæˈstoʊwn / (Set in black. Because clarity matters, even in a foxhole.)

If you’ve ever sat through Band of Brothers yelling at the telly – “It’s BASTOOOWWNNNGH, mate!” – then congratulations, this is your new favourite T-shirt. As endorsed by James Holland’s war face and Al Murray’s spot-on American growl, this tee immortalises the moment the 101st hunkered down, surrounded and freezing, with a look that says, "Come and have a go then."

Made from 100% cotton and cut for heroes of all sizes, this is not just a shirt – it’s a statement. One that says: I know my Ardennes from my elbow.

Details for the detail-obsessed:
• 100% cotton (unless otherwise stated – read on, trooper)
• Sport Grey: 90% cotton, 10% polyester – stretchy enough for dramatic pointing
• Ash Grey: 99% cotton, 1% polyester – barely there
• Heather shades: 50/50 cotton/poly blend for those modern types
• Fabric weight: 5.0–5.3 oz/yd² – sturdy, like your granddad’s opinions
• Tubular knit – no itchy side seams
• Taped neck and shoulders – because droopy collars are a war crime
• Double-stitched like a well-packed kitbag

Standard intel:
• White might look a bit “off-white” – we prefer “campaign white”
• “Natural” may feature some dark flecks – think of them as pre-camouflage

A Bit About the T-Shirt (And Why You Should Check Your Size!)

Al Murray: Now, let’s talk about the T-shirt itself—this isn’t some cheap knockoff; it’s print-on-demand, which means no wasted stock sitting in a warehouse somewhere gathering dust. Instead, every shirt is printed just for you, which is a win for both history lovers and the planet.

James Holland: Absolutely. But, and this is important—check your size before you order. We don’t want loads of returns bouncing around, adding to unnecessary emissions. Pick the right fit, wear it with pride, and show the world you know your history.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
