UNISEX Maaate© Kookaburra Sweatshirt by Anorak®

Chestnut Brown Sweatshirt with white print.

(colloquial, Australia, New Zealand) “Maaate” is a long drawn out version of the Australian slang term "mate", which is commonly used to refer to a friend. It's used in a variety of contexts, including:

Greeting: A friendly way to say hello to a friend

Cajoling: A way to convince a friend to agree with you 

Placating: A way to calm down a friend who is upset

Expression: A way to express congratulations, indignation, surprise, or skepticism

“Mate” is also used in other English-speaking countries, but it has a special connection to Australia. In Australia, “mate” can be used to address anyone, regardless of gender, and can be used to convey a sense of shared experience, mutual respect, and unconditional assistance.

Designed and handprinted by Sean for Anorak® in our little studio next to the shop.

Please note: each sweatshirt is hand printed by Sean, so there may be small inconsistencies in print and colour as he is only human.
The position of the print on each T-shirt may also slightly vary (for the same reason.)
But that's why you're buying an independent designer's creation yeah?
