I think you can.

A bespoke black sleeveless work shirt with a backpatch and a number of woven patches of your choice sewn on.

Simply select the number of patches you want applying to your work shirt from the drop down menu then in the order notes section at the check out indicate which backpatch and patches from our range you want and in which position (please see image).


Sort of defeats the object though. Isn't doing it yourself half the fun?

Workshirts are for shandy-drinkers and wifebeaters anyway. Real men (and women) wear proper denim cut-offs!

No. You literally have never told me that. Turns out King Faisal II gave him a solid gold wristwatch for leading a parachute demonstration on his birthday. A watch which later got torn off his wrist by a snapped strap on a parachute and flung out of a plane in Cyprus, found on the salt lake a few days later, given as a gift to his dad and is now in a box in the attic somewhere.


I got given a few extra details to this story earlier. First of all he wasn't even supposed to get posted to Iraq, but stood in for someone else who got measles.

While he was there from 1956-58 he was in charge of training the first parachute regiment of the Iraqi army, and was only involved in the king's birthday demonstration because one of the 8 guys he was training had a broken arm. So this guy crouched down at the landing zone and waited for grandad to land (and nearly concuss himself in the process after getting caught in a slipstream from 2 passing fighter planes) where he took over and ran up to salute the king. The gold watch was actually meant for the Iraqi but he insisted on giving it to Grandad.

Nice guy, but the same can't be said for one of the other 8 paras- Abd al-Karim Qasim. Ten weeks later he not only deposed the king in a coup and named himself prime minster and general, but he also locked up my grandad and all other British army personnel. The ungrateful wanker :lol:

My 14 year old cousin suggested Pepe as a name for my sister's imminent firstborn son. I guess it's true that Generation Z will be the ultimate shitposters, they're even doing it irl.

I had a cat called Pepe. :lol:

Named after the skunk.

Funnily enough it was a popular name for middle names a few years ago locally, after the goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Yeah it really showed the generational difference when my auntie immediately assumed he meant Pepe le Pew and we had to explain Meme Magic to her.

Also this is my family from Chester so I'm sure they've known a few Pepes and other Liverpool-influenced names too. My aunt works at a school and she's come across 3 Rafaels/Rafas there :lol:
