Picture the scene. You're eight years old and excited for the upcoming school disco (you've even learnt all the moves to Steps' 5-6-7-8). You're planning to wear your cool new bucket hat, but what will you put on the rest of your body? Then your mum comes home.
She's carrying a bag from Marks and Spencer. Inside is a deliberately distressed brown t-shirt inexplicably featuring an American road sign and the words "Established 1978". The seam of the collar and cuffs are a contrasting colour. It is the sort of thing that only twenty 50-year-old executives with coffee breath in a boardroom meeting would brainstorm in response to word "cool". Your life is ruined forever.
Relive the painful memories in this, the definitive guide to t-shirts every boy's mum bought them in the 90s.
