Life Is Ruff 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.
Some days you wake up and the world has decided to have a proper go at you. The boiler's packed in, you've run out of teabags, and it's chucking it down outside. For those moments when life is, frankly, a bit of a dog's dinner, this T-shirt understands.
This tee perfectly captures that mood. It starts with a simple, elegant "LIFE IS..." and then smacks you with a massive, chaotic, lime green "RUFF" in a frantic brushstroke font. It's the visual equivalent of holding it all together until someone asks if you're okay. In the middle of it all, Sir Cucumber Dog stands stoically, weathering the storm. He's had ruff days. He gets it.
Perfect for wearing on a Monday, during a personal crisis, or any time you need to let the world know you're having a moment, but with a top-tier pun.
Why This Shirt Gets It:

-
Royal Mail, On The House: Dispatched with Free UK Shipping, because you don't need any more bad news.
-
Comfort for the Crisis: Made from soft, sturdy cotton, ideal for curling up on the sofa and feeling sorry for yourself in style.

A Note On Your Order (It's made especially for you): This shirt isn't just sitting around. Each one is printed fresh just for you the moment you place your order. This on-demand wizardry means it takes a little longer to arrive, but it's brilliant for cutting down on waste. So you're making a good choice, even if everything else is going pear-shaped.
Heads-Up (Disclaimers):
-
The White tee is more of an 'off-white'.
-
The Natural colour has dark speckles in it. It's a feature, not a flaw.

Every brilliant mug, tee, or coaster you order is made especially for you using print-on-demand. 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. Because we don't hold stock and craft everything bespoke, your order takes a little longer to arrive than rushed, mass-produced items. But this extra time guarantees a high-quality, perfectly rude, and funny product made just for you!
