Life Gets Tiring
Dad has never been much of a linguist, but loves saying he’s tired in French.
Living with dementia is pretty tiring. It takes more effort for his brain to remember and make sense of things, and the demands of care can wipe me out too. Sometimes we all need a good nap, and to say it out loud!
Wise Guy Ringer T-Shirts
Our Wise Guy Collection Ringer T-Shirts are inspired by an original 1950s ringer tee still owned by my dad; a classic that’s endured in both style and spirit.
Originally worn by athletes and later adopted by musicians and youth culture, we’ve reimagined it using a heavier 100% organic cotton fabric and slightly longer sleeves, creating a more versatile fit that flatters all ages and body types.
The result is a modern take on a timeless favourite; durable, comfortable, and made to last.
Made in Leicester
Our Wise Guy T-shirts are made in Leicester at a small, family-run factory with deep roots in the textile trade and a strong commitment to quality, ethics, and sustainability.
The fabric comes from a fully vertical, family-owned mill in Turkey that’s been working exclusively with organic cotton for over 20 years. They spin, knit, and dye everything in-house, ensuring complete control over quality and traceability. Each t-shirt is 250gsm, 100% organic cotton — using no chemical softeners or silicones. The natural softness comes from the purity of the cotton and careful craftsmanship. All wastewater from the dyeing process is treated and reused on-site, keeping production clean and responsible.
