Engineered for alternative style, the Retro Long Sleeve Gothic Graphic Tee fuses bold, long-lasting gothic artwork with a structurally robust, year-round fabric. The tailored but relaxed fit offers layering versatility for fall, winter, and cool spring nights.

Unlike flimsy basic styles, this tee is built on a cotton-poly blend (60% ring-spun cotton, 40% polyester, OEKO-TEX® certified, 5oz midweight) that holds up to relentless wear—without the irritation of sewn-in tags.
- Material: 60% ring-spun cotton, 40% polyester
