About This Item

The DipaliZ Papa Retirement Tee is a black cotton crew-neck shirt printed with the line I am not retired, I am a Papa. The shirt is 100% cotton in an ultra cotton weight with a unisex regular fit, printed direct-to-garment, and runs from S to 5XL. The combination of Papa and the retirement joke aims the design at a grandfather, which makes it a retirement-party gift as readily as a Father's Day one.

The story behind this design

Retirement humour usually runs to golf clubs and hammocks. This design takes a different line: the joke is that the job has not ended, it has changed titles. DipaliZ sets the phrase as a correction, with the first clause dropped back and the second given the weight, so the eye makes the same rhetorical turn the sentence does. White on black keeps it dry rather than jolly.
