Shackleton · Worsley · Crean
South Georgia 1916
Core Expedition Series I
Design 02 / 05
Not a journey. An act of will.
In May 1916, Shackleton, Worsley and Crean crossed the interior of South Georgia — uncharted, glaciated, and unforgiving — to save the rest of their men waiting on Elephant Island.
No map.
No established route.
No margin for failure.
This design commemorates that crossing — not as legend, but as action.
Three names. One island. A moment where leadership, endurance and quiet resolve converged.
 
Part of the Core Expedition Series I, this piece stands alongside four other foundational designs — each representing a defining element of the vintage Antarctica story.
 
Each garment carries:
• A subtle aged front print commemoration statement - for those that know
• Our square expedition mark on the sleeve
• A Core Expedition issue panel 
 
Printed on a premium unisex garment in field colours drawn from polar operations, this piece is designed to feel like issued kit from an expedition long past — not simply commemorative apparel.
For those who understand that some journeys are never meant to be comfortable. Only necessary.
