Honour & Recognition
Core Expedition Series I Hoodie
Few words in history have been more honest.
“Men wanted for hazardous journey…”
No reassurance.
No promises.
Only honour and recognition in case of success.
This design features the iconic imagined recruitment notice that defined Shackleton’s Endurance expedition — reproduced in a clean, uncompromising format that respects the original intent. Not dramatized. Not softened. Just the words, as they stood.
Issued as Design 05 of 05 in the Core Expedition Series I, this hoodie carries the square Vintage Antarctica expedition mark and discreet issue panel , marking the close of the founding collection.
Made from a heavyweight premium cotton blend in field colours drawn from polar operations, it’s built for cold air, long days and quieter reflection — where commitment still means something.
Not nostalgia.
Not costume.
Conviction.
"Men Wanted for hazardous journey, small wages. bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honour and recognition in case of success."
