In May 2024 Pellicle celebrated its fifth anniversary in style by hosting a block party across the taprooms of Cloudwater, Track, Sureshot and Balance breweries here in our home city of Manchester. To promote the event we commissioned a gorgeous poster from one of our regular designers, Dionne Kitching. We loved the design so much that we asked Dionne if she’d turn it into a one-off piece of merch for us, and from that idea this 5th anniversary long-sleeved t-shirt was born.

The Pellicle Optimism Forever 5th Anniversary Long Sleeved T-Shirt is lovingly screen printed by hand by Anchor End, an independent screen printers based in our home city of Manchester. We’ve opted for a heavyweight cotton Stanley Stella Shifts Dry cuffed longsleeve shirt to show off the gorgeous designs by Dionne, which are depicted in this lovely light blue. These shirts are a little pricier than what we would normally go for, but it’s our birthday so forgive us for feeling indulgent. We think you’ll agree that they’re worth it!

This will be a single print run of just 50 shirts. When they’re sold out, they’re sold out! A commission will be paid to the artist on every sale. Full sizing information can be found here. Matty C is 5'8'', enjoys a pint or two and is wearing a large.
