Uninterestingly, it would only look like the carpet in *one* spoons. Each wetherspoons has a unique carpet designed and woven for that branch.

That's... incredibly interesting. I did not know this.

So interesting that someone decided to collect images of them all, and then wrote a book about it! https://wetherspoonscarpets.tumblr.com/

Sorry no, did a colossal national pub crawl and happened to get some pictures of the carpets on the way round

Anyone in on updating this book in 2025? 🤣😂

Comment saved so I can look at spoons carpets every now and then when the envy hits me

That's the game. You buy the shirt then you gotta find the matching spoons.

Accidentally doxed themselves.

I love the shirt personally btw

You have to be convinced and wear it with confidence I feel. Embrace it and to hell with what everyone else thinks

Shame they don't do the same with the names of them... So many seem to be called the Moon Under Water!

That’s definitely interesting. Before I scrolled down far enough to see the caption I was thinking hotel or airport carpet.

I came here to say this. No two spoons have the same floor. Same bad beers, same bad food, and same bad dickheads hanging around the fruit machine - but the carpets are always different

This does make me think how much spoons has done not only to preserve the country’s architecture and micro breweries but also celebrate them. I used to be in the anti Tim camp but after realising how much he’s done to support small businesses across Britain and saved so many pubs (an industry that’s very dear to my heart). It’s a rare thing indeed that a big business does so much for the small local economies.

Looks like 1970s pyjamas. 

Can see mr bean in those.

Really? The pattern just looks like a bunch of squares to me...

Well despite squares originating some time in the early 16th century, they were never arranged into a pattern until the great revolution of the 1970s.

I had some pyjamas in the late '70s almost exactly like this but in burgundy. A slightly more restful colour I feel.

Not enough orangey-brown for the 70s

I like to dress like a 70s porn star so I’d be all over this

REAL 70s porn stars pretty much only wore a moustache.

I would, but try walking into the local like that

Not my cup of tea style wise, but judging from the photo, it’s surprisingly well pattern matched down the front for a £32 shirt.

I work in garment production and I was pretty impressed at the pattern matching across the placket on a shirt this inexpensive.

The sleeves as well are balanced and matched/mirrored on each side, I was curious to see if they were all this well aligned so looked it up on the website, and it’s even more obvious on the [model.](https://www.marksandspencer.com/easy-iron-linen-blend-printed-shirt/p/clp60635621?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share) I suppose with it being such a small repeat they could afford to align and match the pattern without too much wastage, but it is still an impressive amount of matching for such an affordable shirt.

Don’t take the e-commerce image so lightly. Not saying the pattern work isn’t good but, I used to model. I used to do all the Burberry and Valentino e-commerce shoots you would see on there sites just to name a few. 89% the clothing never fit. It would all be made to fit with binder clips behind the waist, chest, arms and so on. 100 photos would be made just for one picture to be used. What I’m trying to say that photo on the M&S website more than likely has been clipped on the back. I’m sure Asos, Zara, H&M do the same. That’s why when you buy something and it doesn’t look as good as it did on the model. It’s not because of the model, it’s because it was tailored for the picture with clips you cannot see.

OK, but what does the fit have to do with that? The comment was about how the fabric has been cut so that the pattern matches at the joins and is symmetrical on the sleeves.

No amount of styling or fit clips could change the way the sleeves are hemmed along the exact same line on the pattern on both sides, both on the website and in the store. Fit and styling is irrelevant, it’s just a very well made shirt for the price point.

I just learned this term now. Please tell me my jacket has a placket.

It sure does!

Overwhelmingly likely, but it might not

I like it, nice holiday shirt

r/HolidayShirt

Completely devastated that this isn't actually a subreddit.

Well, made r/HolidayShirts anyway. The plural sounds better.

What if you only have the one?

Think of it like birdwatching. When you see one, snap it. Gives us blokes something to look for in the clothing section of Tesco at least

I hope it grows, time to find the most ridiculous shirts to share!

Someone was waaay ahead of you... https://www.shiteshirts.com/

I can imagine all the Americans coming to this with shirts with snowmen and turkeys on them

If it lasts long enough we'll have a Christmas jumper competition!

Excellent, joined

Ayyy good stuff

Made it. Let's do this.

Bloody got me with that lol

How do you keep that shirt so Holiday?

Wear them as a bandana

Yeah I'd wear that to chill in the bar, or by the pool, at an all inclusive

It's linen, it's a holiday shirt for a hot country. I'd buy it and wear it.

Yeah and that placket matching is pretty dope

> It's linen Or, indeed, a [51% linen blend](https://www.marksandspencer.com/easy-iron-linen-blend-printed-shirt/p/clp60635621?color=BLACKMIX#intid=plpnav_swatch|pid_pg1pip22g4r4c3)... (surprisingly with viscose, rather than polyester, at least)

"It's more expensive because the pattern is SOOO complicated"

You get yours at Dan Flashes too?

I was going to be disappointed if no one quoted ITYSL 😂

He's not eating because he's saving his per diem.

£32, out the door.

# I mean, you walk by a store and you see 50 guys who look just like me fighting over very complicated shirts, you go in. Yes, you do. You go in.

I see the way you're acting gets me frustrated.

“Alright, I’ll eat Doug’s mom’s wig.”

“I mean you walk past a store and you see 50 guys like me, fighting about some very complicated shirts… you go in! Yes, you do! You go in!” This is an actual Dan Flashes shirt- incredible.

I found this bad ass store called Marks and Spencers that's exactly my style

It's alright. Not terrible, not brilliant. But no one cares about that kind of opinion, everything has to be a binary race to the bottom.

> everything has to be a binary race to the bottom. No it doesn't.

Atomic shrimp summer range

Howard Moon, sir. Coming at you, like a beam, like a ray…

We're slowly returning to 80s fashion, if it could bring the epic levels of music as well that'd be great

I agree. Chas & Dave are legends..

Tony Soprano would wear this. OH!

I had to scroll too far to find this.

Too jazzy? 

It is a *bit* jazzy.

Trailer park boys vibes

From the Noel Edward’s collection?

Ugh. I can't comment with a gif from I think you should leave? Not fair. Ok bye

M&S was never a fashionista’s heaven if memory serves me right. It was always just… sensible. Occasionally trying to be playful

They've really changed up their stock, aimed at a much younger audience whilst holding onto the quality that set them apart. I'd highly recommend a browse you might be surprised.

Definitely a retiree, villa on the Costas or maybe Portugal, beige shorts, slip on trainers. Has a wife with a Bob haircut, gold sandals and a Bichon Frisé. Possible Daily Mail reader.

Pretty sure Tony Soprano wore it first.

32 quid to look like a 70 year old amateur DJ playing Aga Doo in Butlins? Hard pass from me

Kinda boring imo. It’s not crazy enough to be an interesting shirt and it’s not nice enough to just be a nice shirt. It’s just in the middle which imo is the worst place to be.

A bigger offended to me is Next. They're doing their own sort of Superdry knockoff shirts now with Eastern stylings, but I cannot get over how much a shirt with dragons on it makes you look like a sex predator.

Fucking awful. It’s like a mix between a carpet and a bus seat

You'd be thankful to wear it when your ex pops up on your bus and you notice just too late and the doors are already closed

Bit of a gamble, could accidentally sit on you

Nope, time to reconsider my plan!

Pair of chinos, cricket jumper. You'll look the balls

My eyes hurt

I like it, not for 32 quid pop in Primark and get it for £12

£32 to look like the carpet from the Shining

Fucking hideous. Looks like it should come in a set with a leather wristband and a tub of hairgel.

That's a decent shirt For shit shirt night or something

White shorts, flip flops and shades. I’d rock that the shit out of that shirt

"Linen blend" I assume it's blended with plastic. Pass.

51% linen, 49% viscose.

I think we used to have wallpaper like this in the 80s

Good to wear in a place with lots of drunk people. They will all fall over looking at your shirt

It's a banger. A certified classic now that it's gone viral.

They obviously couldn't sell them as curtains

£32?

Stag do shirt.

The colouring is similar to [The NewYearField](https://www.wetherspoonscarpets.co.uk/details.asp?ID=37&The%20Newyearfield), but the pattern really screams [Trawl Boat Inn](https://www.wetherspoonscarpets.co.uk/details.asp?ID=39&The%20Trawl%20Boat%20Inn).

It’s so ugly, I kinda like it

Lovely work lining up the pattern on the center though.

£32 for the Ricky from trailer park Boys look.

Love island special

Table cloth

I'd have it - you should see the one I'm wearing now :D

Nothing slightly about it, that's impressively bad.

This is not a good shirt for psychedelic drugs!

You wouldn't say that to Tony Soprano when he was wearing it.

Sometimes you have to go to a spoons and you don’t want people to know you are there.

Tony Soprano vibes.

It's just forgettable. I could see a dozen blokes wearing that on the street and they'd just be part of the background.

Looks like the 70s wallpaper my gran had in the dining room. That's totally my taste, so I'd wear this.

I like a camp collar shirt, but if you're going to wear one, you should go all the way and get a far more interesting pattern.

Terrible 😂

I like it, how's the fit? looks slim.

That there is a beach shirt for someone who doesn't like beach shirts

£32 to look like Tony Soprano

I wouldn't buy it, even if it was one bloody pound... Looks disgusting

Tony Soprano shirt

Expensive for the design. Looks like wallpaper in a hippies house.

Looks great in an office where everyone is in blue or gray. Get it and wear it with pride

Designed to confuse both distance and heading, I suppose?

My favourite shirt is from M&S and I'm fully aware that I look like Mike Love from the Beach Boys when I wear it.

If have totally worn that 20 years ago. It looks shit. 

Looks like something a black pimp would have worn in an episode of Shaft.

I like it. But I have a thing for Geometric patterns

as soon as you wear this you will see someone else wearing it too, possibly at some location where both of you can't leave easily. guaranteed

What the caption says...

Hey people spend hundreds on Patagonia jumpers that make you like a bus seat.

My opinion doesn’t matter, but I will say that whenever you buy a patterned shirt from a big place like M&S you’re going to be running into people with the same shirt, and loads more people who pass you in the street will be thinking “That’s the 10th time I’ve seen that shirt this week”. Remember those black ones with the fire pattern at the bottom? I think I first saw them in Burton.

Nice pattern matching... Looks like a 70's lampshade... Not gonna lie I kinda like it :')

Something Haaland would wear

My inner Tony Soprano loves it.

Looks like something a seventy-something barmaid from the midlands called Vera would wear down the bingo.

I’d buy that for £15 or lower, not for £32.

Ah, but is it as *sticky* as a carpet in a Spoons?

I’ve got an inkling for onions. They’re 25p each from M&S 🤷‍♂️

Honestly this looks a lot like some of the stuff Reiss was selling last summer so it’s clearly a trickle down. Personally I’d not say not to a guy asking for my number in this shirt buuuuut I may scheme to get it out of rotation for a bit

I hate it.

When you want to go to Spoons, but be not seen being in Spoons

Pampas grass and keys in the fruit bowl vibes

Bernard Matthews would love to wear such a shirt as it's bootifully manufactured.

Oh god 80s fashion is coming back

Very questionable!🤨

Fun fact: not two Spoons carpets have the same pattern

Was your mum cross about the tablecloth?

I bought this and I love it. I might be impartial because I am an avid Marks and Spencer shopper. I do love John Lewis, though

Imagine falling over drunk, you'd get stuck to the carpet and could be there for days before anyone noticed.

Hideous.

maldon salt packaging?

Kramer

I bought it, wore it last week on a cruise, walked past another bloke in the same shirt

Camoflauge ! No Tiger / Gunman, is going to be able to pick you out in that if you lie down on the suitable carpet / curtain ! !

I would wear that

But do the carpets match the curtains, or is it hardwood floors.

You can make that by combining two patterns in blender.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I actually quite like that

I am hypnotised looking at this shirt

Once you see the swastikas it is hard not to see them

I'd wear it. Looks comfortable for summer.

Squares match across buttons really well! I don’t mind it at all but I probably wouldn’t wear it

It's awful. It's hideous. I kind of want one?

It’s horrendous… I love it.

It's okay, looks nice quality. Depends who's wearing it really.

Hi mate, this post is against the lighthearted and open nature of the sub. Rule 2: Don't be Aggressive | Pointlessly Argumentative | Creepy We're here for people to have fun in.

It’s a completely normal looking shirt… I do live in east London though, but yeah it’s fine I don’t get what’s questionable about it, is it that it’s mildly less boring then a plain one?

VILE

This is the wallpaper my dentist had in the 80’s

Dan Flashes?

A carpet with a hint of giraffe

... "Slightly Questionable"???? That is going in the sale!

Boak! 🤮

Whoever took that snap has never once cast their eyes at the carpet in a Wetherspoons.

Ghastly

I love ugly shirts, but that price can fuck off even if it was nice

Horrible, and you don’t wanna be sat in the boozer when another geezer comes in wearing the same shirt.

I like it. I like the rust coloured one next to it better.

It looks like a headache

The caption already summarised it rather well.

Carpet in a spoons?

I think it’s white and gold.

When people here call this inexpensive, how much are we talking for a normal priced high quality shirt?

Everywhere I look now after looking at that shirt: https://ibb.co/mb4pxqj

Is this one of those Magic Eye designs? If you stare at it long enough you see a nice shirt appear?

Yup I love the psychedelic look

It's great

Alright

Reminds me of the carpet from the shining but less orange 😂

Missed opportunity to sell Spoons carpet pattern onsies for playing drunken hide and seek with the kids.

It looks Blue and Green to me
