"I Fought a Magpie and Lost" Tee
Every spring, one bird declares war on an entire postcode, and every spring, we lose. This one's for the swooping season survivors — the joggers who now take the long way, the cyclists with a zip tie helmet and zero dignity left, the posties who've filed for hazard pay.
Wear it as a badge of honour. Or a warning to the magpies. They can't read, but it's the thought that counts.
No humans were harmed in the making of this tee. The magpie's still undefeated.
High quality printed graphic that won't crack, fade, or apologise
Soft, breathable cotton tee — comfortable enough to wear through smoko, tough enough to survive the ute
Unisex, regular fit
Printed to order in Geelong — no two batches identical, no giant leftover pile
Made properly, close to home.
Every Labgoat tee is printed and pressed by hand in Geelong — no overseas print farms, no rushed batches. That personal touch takes a bit longer than ordering off a mass-production line, but it's the reason each shirt actually gets checked before it leaves, not just shipped and hoped for.
Note: Final print size may vary slightly depending on the design and the size of the garment — don't stress, our designers know exactly what they're doing to make sure every tee looks great, whatever size you order.
Shipping timeframe: please allow 5–7 business days from placing your order for your tee to be printed, pressed, and ready to ship. This is worth noting before you order, especially if you need something by a specific date — flag it in your order notes or get in touch by email and we'll do what we can.
We're also trying to do this the right way:
We print on demand, not in bulk — so there's no warehouse full of shirts nobody wanted, and no waste from overproduction

Printed on AS Colour Block Tubular Tee
Your new go-to tee, built to earn its place in the rotation. Made from 100% carded cotton at a solid 200 GSM, so it's got enough weight to feel substantial without being heavy. Preshrunk before it ever reaches you, with rib detailing at the neck and double-stitched hems that hold up wash after wash. Tubular construction means no side seams — just a clean, comfortable fit that's built for everyday wear, not just one season.
Regular fit. Made to last.
