Task "Mind The Old Sweat" Double Sided T-Shirt

The Mind the Old Sweat T-Shirt is a Task Outdoor original, for the soldier who has been around long enough to have seen it all and still turns up with a brew on. In British Army slang an old sweat is a long-serving, seasoned hand, the one the young lads roll their eyes at right up until something goes wrong. This tee says what everyone who has served already knows: if he is still here after all these years, there is a reason.

The big print is on the back. A grey-bearded veteran in a bush hat and scrim scarf kneels on a limestone outcrop above a fell valley at sunset, one hand to his radio, his rifle resting across his knee and an enamel mug of tea by his boot. Mind the Old Sweat arches over the top in heavy lettering, with He's still here for a reason. underneath. The lettering is cream on the darker colours and dark brown on Sand and Sport Grey, so it stays easy to read on every shirt. On the front, a small Task Outdoor logo sits on the left chest.

It is printed on a soft Gildan 64000 Softstyle unisex tee in 153 g/m² ring-spun cotton (Sport Grey and Heather Indigo are cotton and polyester blends), with taped shoulders and a regular fit. It comes in 10 colours in sizes S to 5XL. Each shirt is printed to order, so it takes a little longer to dispatch than our stock items.
