About the design

The opening line of the old capstan shanty, stacked up in bold slab lettering that has had a couple: DRUNKEN and SAILOR are swaying on their feet. The traditional words have been sung since at least the 1830s and are free for everyone to belt out.

It comes in two versions: dark lines for pale fabrics and light lines for dark fabrics, so it stays crisp whichever colour you pick.

The words come from the traditional sea shanty “Drunken Sailor”, which is in the public domain. A short history of the song.
