Description

Private Hook had the right idea.

In the 1964 film Zulu, Hook's immortal line — "I'm excused duty" — became one of cinema's great moments of tactical avoidance. A phrase that has resonated with dads, husbands, and committed dodgers of household chores ever since.

(The real Henry Hook, for the record, was a decorated soldier and VC winner at Rorke's Drift. The man earned his rest.)

Whether you're a devotee of the greatest British war film ever made or simply someone who's spotted a tactical opportunity to get out of doing the hoovering, this shirt speaks for you. Loudly. Without lifting a finger.

Wear it on a Sunday morning. Leave it visible on the sofa. Let it do the negotiating.

For Zulu fans, fans of Michael Caine, and anyone who's ever looked at a pile of washing-up and thought: not today.

Printed on soft cotton so comfortable you could wear it while actively doing nothing. Which is rather the point.
