Admiral Horatio Nelson

£ 29.00

Admiral Horatio Nelson, England's greatest Captain. This design shows the message he broadcast to the fleet prior to the Battle of Trafalgar. It reads: "England expects that every man will do his duty. The Battle of Trafalgar occurred on Monday, 21st October 1805. It was a decisive sea battle between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of France & Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Admiral Nelson on board HMS Victory, led 27 British ships-of-the-line against 33 French & Spanish ships. The Franco-Spanish fleet, led by Pierre de Villeneuve lost twenty-two ships, without a single British vessel being lost. Nelson divided his smaller force into two columns directed perpendicularly against the larger enemy fleet, with decisive results. Although Nelson was killed during the battle (He had been hit by a marksman from the Redoutable , firing at a range of 50 feet. The bullet had entered his left shoulder, pierced his lung, and come to rest at the base of his spine), the victory confirmed Britain's naval supremacy and created a legendary hero of Admiral Nelson.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
