TAGGART T-SHIRT
A Classic TV Detective T-Shirt Available in Black Cotton.
Pay tribute to one of television's most enduring and beloved detectives with our Taggart T-Shirt, inspired by the iconic character portrayed by Mark McManus. This tee captures the gritty essence of Glasgow's favorite detective, who brought crime-solving to life on British television for over two decades. Perfect for fans of classic TV crime dramas and those who appreciate a good mystery, this shirt is a nod to the dark, moody atmosphere that made "Taggart" a staple of British TV.
"Taggart," named after its tough, no-nonsense protagonist, was one of the longest-running police dramas in British television history. The show first aired in 1983 and quickly became a hit, with Mark McManus delivering a memorable performance as Detective Chief Inspector Jim Taggart. Known for his gruff demeanor, sharp mind, and unyielding sense of justice, Taggart became synonymous with the gritty realism of crime in Glasgow. McManus’ portrayal of the character left a lasting impact, and even after his passing in 1994, the show continued, a testament to the strength of the character he brought to life.
Our Taggart T-Shirt is more than just a piece of clothing—it's a homage to a character that became a cultural icon. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the show or someone who appreciates classic detective dramas, this tee is a great way to celebrate the legacy of a TV legend.

Most of our t-shirts are printed onto the Gildan range of clothing. The Gildan tees are 100% preshrunk cotton. We find these tees are particularly suited to DTG printing and are available in a wide variety of sizes and colours. Occasionally, when stock dictates, we will use a similar brand of equivalent quality.
All of our t-shirts are manufactured using the latest Direct To Garment printing (DTG) printing methods. Unlike traditional screen printing DTG does not require detailed layer seperation, screen preparation etc which makes it the ideal print solution for detailed, multi-coloured designs. As the name suggests, all our t-shirts have their designs printed directly onto the garment using specially formulated garment inks.
For best results we recommend washing all our t-shirts inside out with similar colours and on a cool 30 degree wash. To avoid any excessive shrinkage avoid the tumble dryer and let Mother Nature do her work by line drying your tee.
