Vampire Squid Tee

The dark heart of the collection. Neither a true squid nor an octopus, the vampire squid is the last surviving member of an ancient deep-sea lineage, a creature built for a world of no light and almost no oxygen. We painted it in deep burgundy and cool blue with its webbed cloak spread wide, printed large across the back like a specimen lifted from an old naturalist's journal, with its Latin name and a few field notes alongside. Dramatic without trying too hard, and the piece people always ask about.

Printed on the Gildan Softstyle 64000, a lightweight 100% ring-spun cotton tee (4.5 oz/yd², 153 g/m²) that feels soft and easy to wear all year round. Classic fit with a crew neckline for a clean, versatile look, twill-tape reinforced shoulders, no side seams for a smoother drape, and a ribbed-knit collar that resists curling. Finished with a pearlized tear-away label for total comfort. Made with ethically grown US cotton (Gildan is a member of the US Cotton Trust Protocol) and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified. The design is printed large across the back with a small mark at the chest. Natural white, though due to the fabric it may read slightly off-white rather than bright white. Unisex. Vampyroteuthis infernalis.
