PROPER HARDMAN
A black t-shirt with PROPER HARDMAN printed on it.

Two words, screen printed across the chest in one colour. Nothing else is printed on the garment. Nothing on it explains itself. It is a heavyweight black tee that happens to say what it says, and it is made to the standard of a tee that says nothing at all.

Stated in full
There are no reviews on this page and no numbers to quote. This is a new label and the specification is what stands in their place.
- 215gsm
- Heavyweight. This is the weight class the £48 to £90 premium shelf lives in.
- Stanley/Stella Sparker 2.0, black
- The blank is named because it can be. Look it up before you buy.
- 1-colour white plastisol screen print
- Stays vivid past fifty washes. Direct-to-garment on black starts going grey around wash ten, which is why it is not used here.
- Boxy regular fit
- Sits square at the shoulder and holds it. Not slim, not oversized.
- {CONFIRM} composition
- Fibre content and origin to be stated here once confirmed with the supplier.
- Printed and posted in the UK

- Dispatched 7 to 10 days after the window closes
- The screen-print run is placed the day it closes. Nothing is held in a warehouse first.
Questions
Is this serious?
The garment is. It is a 215gsm Stanley/Stella Sparker 2.0 in black with a one-colour plastisol screen print. Everything on this page about the cloth, the print and the postage is meant literally.
Why is it a pre-order?
The screen-print run is placed the day the window closes and sized by what people actually ordered. Nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing is over-printed. It is dispatched 7 to 10 days after that.
What does 215gsm mean?
Grams per square metre, which is how heavy the cloth is. A supermarket tee is around 150gsm. The premium shelf starts around 215gsm. It is the difference between a shirt you can see your hand through and one you cannot.
Why not print it cheaper?
A one-colour screen print costs more to set up than the alternatives and lasts several times longer on black. The setup is paid once per run. The shirt is worn for years.
What size should I take?
The fit is boxy regular. Take your usual size for a square fit, or one up if you want it looser. Measurements are on the garment page, and a wrong guess is exchanged free.
If it is wrong
If it is not exactly what this page says when it lands, the weight, the print or the make, send it back within 30 days for the full £35. If the size is wrong it is exchanged free and both postage legs are covered, through 31 January for gift orders. No forms and no restocking charge.
