The Houssein Occasions Marathon Shirt: "Don't talk, just do it" on the Coolsingel
No film gets Rotterdam's heart racing like The Marathon. The moment the guys from Garage Gerard conquered the Coolsingel in their striking purple and yellow Houssein Occasions shirts is legendary. Want to relive that feeling? Whether you're training for the real 42 kilometers in Rotterdam, looking for a fun outfit for a weekend with friends, or simply want to pay tribute to this cult film: with this shirt, you'll show that you have a good dose of perseverance.

Authentic design by Houssein Occasions
Forget boring running shirts; this is the shirt that made it all happen. The purple and yellow colors are exactly as you know them from the film. The logo of sponsor Houssein Occasions is prominently displayed on the chest, just as the guys wore it when they put aside their pride to save the garage. The design is a direct copy of the film props, so you'll be wearing a shirt that will be instantly recognizable by any Rotterdam cinema fan.

Optimal comfort for real runners
A common concern with movie replicas is that the fabric wouldn't be suitable for real-world athletic performance. Nothing could be further from the truth with this The Marathon shirt. Manufactured by leading sports brand Vector, this shirt is fully sublimated. This means the striking colors and logos are embedded in the fibers of the fabric. This ensures the fabric remains fully breathable and efficiently wicks away moisture. No heavy, wet rags or chafing prints, just a lightweight shirt that supports you all the way to the finish line at the Erasmus Bridge.

A modern tribute with the right fit
While the men in the film did their utmost to get fit, you don't have to worry about the fit. This shirt has a modern, tight fit. It hugs the body, making it ideal for both runners and those who wear it casually during carnival or a theme party. The seams are finished with high-quality stitching to prevent irritation. Please note: due to the close-fitting design, we recommend choosing a size up if in doubt, especially if you plan to wear the shirt over an undershirt during the often chilly Rotterdam marathon morning.

Rotterdam friendship for your whole team
The Marathon is about friendship through thick and thin. What could be better than showing up as a whole group of friends or a company team in these shirts? Whether you're running as 'Gerard', 'Nico', 'Leo', or 'Kees', in the purple and yellow Houssein Occasions, you'll instantly form an indestructible unit.
