Saint Monday Cap

100% cotton baseball cap with low profile, an adjustable strap and curved visor. It calls on us to bring back Saint Monday – a historic working-class tradition of bunking off work every Monday. From at least the 17th century, workers in Britain and across Europe would skip work on Monday, joking that they were observing "Saint Monday", a non-existent religious holiday.
Instead of working, workers would take trips, sleep off hangovers, visit theatres and ale houses, generally have fun.
Eventually, in the 19th century, employers agreed to give workers Saturday afternoons off work, in return for them actually attending work on Mondays, and so this mass, unofficial, working-class direct action was instrumental in creating the modern weekend.
Now, as increasing numbers of workers are fighting for a four-day working week, we believe that an effective way to do so is to bring back Saint Monday, and just refuse to work five days any longer!
