Men Wanted for Honour & Recognition
Shackleton's Legendary Advert (albeit fictional)
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.
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."
