Product Details

Proper Sheffield, and a bit mardy with it.

Mardy is Sheffield and South Yorkshire dialect for sulky, moody or easily put out. Most of us were called a mardy bum by our mums before we could spell it. Then some lads from High Green put it in a song, and the whole world learned to say it too.

Our Arctic Monkeys inspired Mardy Bum t-shirt celebrates the Sheffield word they made famous, in hand-drawn 70s-style lettering on 100% organic cotton. A Sheffield favourite, back in ten colourways; soft pastels, warm tones, everyday neutrals and two for the football faithful. Navy lettering on the lighter shirts, warm cream on the darker ones. A proper Sheffield gift for fans, exiles and anyone who's ever been told to stop being mardy.

Made from 180gsm organic ring-spun combed cotton; heavier and more substantial than your average tee. The iconic Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 in a medium unisex fit. Printed using vegan inks for a soft-feel, durable finish that gets better with every wash.

Natural Raw is completely undyed — it shows the true colour of the cotton plant, with natural specks and subtle texture variation. No two are exactly alike.

An exclusive Sheffield Forum Shop design — you won't find this anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

Care instructions vary by product type and are listed on each product page.

For printed apparel:

  • Machine wash at 30°C or below, inside out with similar colours
  • Do not tumble dry — hang or lay flat to dry
  • Do not iron directly on the print — iron inside out only
  • Do not dry clean or bleach

For mugs and drinkware: dishwasher safe on the top rack, though hand washing will extend the life of the print.

For art prints and framed prints: keep out of direct sunlight to preserve colours. Wipe frames with a dry cloth only.
Size & Fit

Our t-shirts are a medium unisex fit on 100% organic ringspun combed cotton. Well-structured and clean — not boxy, not fitted. The fabric softens slightly after the first few washes.

True to size for a regular fit. Size up one for an oversized look.
