Description
The Design
This I Wish I Was in Glasgow t-shirt captures the longing felt by anyone who’s ever left the city behind. The design is presented as a vintage postcard stamp, complete with perforated edges, postmark, and franking marks. The words “I WISH I WAS IN GLASGOW” dominate the composition in bold orange lettering, set against a silhouette of the city’s skyline rendered in black and grey. Splashes of teal, yellow, and pink add energy and urban texture, while small details—like a cup of Irn-Bru and Glasgow street art motifs—ground the piece in the city’s culture.
The postcard format is deliberate. It evokes the feeling of sending word home, of being somewhere else and wishing you weren’t. Glasgow inspires fierce loyalty in those who know it—whether born there, educated there, or adopted by the city. This design speaks to that connection, offering a way to carry Glasgow with you wherever you are.
The illustration style is contemporary and street-inspired, designed for people who understand what makes Glasgow special: its energy, its humour, its refusal to be anywhere but itself.
Fit, Feel & Quality
Made from heavyweight cotton with a relaxed fit, this t-shirt is built for everyday comfort and long-term wear. The seamless double-needle collar maintains its shape through repeated washing, while double-needle stitching at the sleeves and hem ensures durability. Taped neck and shoulders add resilience without restricting movement, making it suitable for travel, casual wear, or city life.
Most colours are 100% preshrunk cotton. Ash Grey is 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with 1% polyester. Sport Grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester. Heather shades are a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend. The fabric has weight and presence—this is a t-shirt that feels substantial, not disposable.
Who It’s For
This is for Glaswegians living abroad who miss their city. For students who left after university but never quite let go. For anyone who spent time in Glasgow and carries it with them. For travellers who fell for the city and keep planning their return. And for gift-givers seeking something that speaks to the pull of home, wherever home may be.
Wear it on days when you’re missing the West End, the Barras, or the Clyde. Pair it with jeans for casual wear, or layer it beneath a hoodie for cooler days. It works as a statement of connection, as a gift for homesick Glaswegians, or as a celebration of the city’s hold on those who love it.
