I Was Forced To Come T-shirt
£19.99
We print everything to order—because we hate waste and dusty stock. Due to this highly customised effort, delivery takes 4–8 days (yes, you have to wait). If you’re lucky, it’s 2–5. We’ll send a dispatch email when your stuff is finally on its way.
Your excuses ran out. Your best mate cashed in a favour. Your boss made the work do "mandatory." Whatever the reason, you're here, but you're not happy about it. This T-shirt is your silent, wearable protest. It manages expectations beautifully – don't expect sparkling conversation, just sullen-but-stylish attendance.
This tee gets straight to the point, with the word "FORCED" highlighted in our signature lime green, just so there's absolutely no confusion about your level of enthusiasm. At the bottom, Sir Cucumber Dog offers his silent support. He was also forced to come. He's missing a very important nap.
This is the perfect uniform for family gatherings, weddings you couldn't get out of, and any social event where your attendance is more of a hostage situation.
Why This Shirt Is Your New Best Friend:
-
Manages Expectations: It’s a public service announcement that says "I have the social energy of a wet flannel right now."
-
Brilliantly Ambiguous: A masterpiece of misinterpretation that's sure to get a few knowing smirks.
-
Free UK Shipping: Because being dragged out was expensive enough for your soul.
-
Sir Cucumber Dog Gets It: He stands with you in solidarity, silently judging the canapés.
-
Comfort for the Captive: Made from soft, sturdy cotton, ideal for leaning against a wall and counting down the minutes until you can escape.
The Fiddly Bits (Specs):
-
Fabric Composition:
-
Solid colours are 100% cotton.
-
Sport Grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester.
-
Ash Grey is 99% cotton, 1% polyester.
-
Heather colours are a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend of pure reluctance.
-
-
Fabric Weight: A solid 5.0–5.3 oz/yd² (170-180 g/m²). Substantial enough to carry the weight of your resentment.
-
Construction: Made with open-end yarn and tubular fabric, with a taped neck and shoulders. Plus double seams at the sleeves and bottom hem. It’s built to outlast your patience.
-
Sourced From: Our blank tees come from various corners of the world (Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Mexico).
A Note On Your Order (It's not forced, we promise): We don't have a sad pile of these shirts sitting in a warehouse. Each one is printed fresh just for you the moment you click 'buy'. This on-demand wizardry means it takes a little longer to arrive, but it's brilliant for cutting down on waste. So you're being a thoughtful consumer, even if you were forced to be here.
Heads-Up (Disclaimers):
-
The White tee is more of an 'off-white'. Don't expect pristine, blindingly-white white.
-
The Natural colour has dark speckles in it. It's a feature, not a flaw.

This custom process is personally overseen by our mascot, Sir Cucumber Dog, who ensures his cucumber monocle is positioned just right for the official 'Pug of Approval' stamp.

But this extra time guarantees a high-quality, perfectly rude, and funny product made just for you!
