Acht Cola Acht Bier Men's T-Shirt, ACAB Print

Red letter game for cola and beer drinkers

Read the four letters and a slogan comes to mind first, but the solution points somewhere else entirely: directly under the initials, in the same angular red type, stands Acht Cola Acht Bier. What is meant is the mixing ratio that anyone fond of a Diesel, a Colaweizen or a Krefelder already carries in their head. Ask about it and you get a drinks order explained rather than a slogan.

The same print on six colours

The red stays identical on every shirt colour, whether black, navy, white, yellow, brown or burgundy. On white and yellow the lettering jumps out hard; on the darker tones it reads more muted.

For the bar, the barbecue and the away trip

A shirt for people who would sooner laugh over a beer than argue, at the bar, in the garden over the coals or on the coach to the next match. The shop also carries this design on a patch beanie.

Jersey, crew neck, regular fit

The jersey leaves the circular knitting machine as a tube, which means no seams appear at the sides, and it weighs 185 grams per square metre. Add a short sleeve, a round neckline with ribbing and a tape inside the collar; the shirt is cut for adults in men's widths. Three colours cover all eight widths, S to 5XL; for the other three the run ends at 3XL, so after six. The same play on words sits on the patch of a trucker cap here too. Laundry at thirty degrees suits it.
