About the brand
Where we come from and how we work.
Corporal Wojtek is apparel built around a single story: a Syrian brown bear, bought in 1942 in Hamadan from a Persian boy by soldiers of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company, who marched with the Polish II Corps through Iran, Iraq, Palestine and Egypt all the way to Monte Cassino.
So that he could sail to Italy with the company, he was formally enlisted: given a service number, a pay book and a rank. At Monte Cassino he carried crates of ammunition, and the company put him on its emblem. After the war he lived at Edinburgh Zoo, where his old comrades visited him until 1963.
How we work
Every tee carries one mark: Wojtek’s head, simplified and bold, drawn in line like an old engraving. The collection has two versions of it, Classic and Night Eye.
The tees are 185 gsm, with a body knitted in one piece and no side seams. Sizes run from S to XXL, and every one is measured in centimetres in the size guide.
