Ice Station Papa T-shirt.

The Ice Station Papa Tee

Born from a late-night viewing of Ice Station Zebra, the Cold War classic starring Rock Hudson and Ernest Borgnine, the Ice Station Papa Tee imagines the everyday uniform of a remote Antarctic research crew posted somewhere well beyond the edge of the map.

Whether worn beneath an exposure suit, pulling a watch on the ice or simply killing time around the base, every member of the AR-2 team is issued their own facility tee. Cut from slubby Japanese cotton in a classic military vintage fit, its pea-green colour recalls early US Navy jerseys, while the Ice Station Papa Antarctic Research insignia is printed across the chest in water-based inks.

Standard issue for cold-weather operations at the world’s most southerly Papa outpost.
