Drop in with style. This Unisex Pique Polo Shirt features our Operation Tonga design — a tribute to the daring airborne assault that kicked off D-Day. Worn by the bold, inspired by the brave.
Made from hard-wearing yet comfortable cotton pique, it’s ready for anything — whether you’re walking the ground in Normandy or navigating more peaceful terrain. With a flattering semi-fitted cut, crisp collar, and dyed-to-match buttons, this is understated style with serious historical altitude.
• 100% ring-spun cotton
• Fabric weight: 5.2 oz/yd² (176 g/m²)
• Semi-fitted – neat but never tight
• Side-seamed construction
• Placket with dyed-to-match buttons
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric
Note: White colour variant may have a slight off-white tone — perfect for blending into the French countryside at dawn.
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!

Size colour, and text are all good, the quality of the garment is fine.
The item arrived in very good time and my wife "loves it" asking , "What is a PIAT"??
No need to hide in a loft when you wear this rather fetching attire. Get out onto that bridge and make your intentions clear! Highly recommended.

Nice shirt, good quality. No notes.
An excellent T shirt - love the relevance of the Codenames - it makes it special. Lots of folks have asked what it means - it’s educating people!
