Part old-school patch, part gig poster, all Viking metal.

This viking warrior shirt packs a whole metal show into one shield-shaped crest: a horned warrior shredding a V-shaped guitar in front of a fiery blast, printed in full color on organic cotton. Give it to the friend who swears the best act of any festival is the one that takes the stage in furs.

The design: a Viking metal crest with banners, axes and fire

Everything sits inside a crest with a pointed base and a double border. A ribbon banner stretches across the top, tipped with a small star at each end, and names the music this shirt is made for, Viking metal. A second ribbon curls across the bottom with a short fire slogan, an axe juts out at each lower corner with its blade pointing outward, and a row of small stars, the biggest in the middle, runs down along the point.

Inside the crest, a Viking warrior plants his fur-wrapped legs wide and cranks out a riff. A horned helmet sits on his head, his hair flies out behind him, a thick braid hangs from his long beard and his jaw drops open in a roar. A fur cape drapes over his shoulders, studded bracers wrap his wrists, and his electric guitar has a pointed V-shaped body lined with studs, its long neck aimed at the top right corner.

Behind him, a fiery orange blast lights up the whole crest with flame rays, flying sparks and a jagged, lightning-like streak, while dark rocky ground stretches beneath his feet. The palette sticks to burnt orange, cream and deep sepia, and a distressed texture runs through every inch, so the badge looks like a patch that has already survived a hundred shows.

It's made for fans of Viking metal and heavy music in general: the people who know every word of the chorus, throw the horns on cue and never leave before the encore.

A Viking warrior shirt in organic cotton for long nights at the front of the stage

• 100% organic cotton in a 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²) single jersey knit
• The organic cotton content holds GOTS and OCS certification, and the fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (Certificate No. 1112055, Centexbel)
• PETA-Approved Vegan, so the only fur on this tee is the drawn kind on the Viking
• Medium fit, finished with a ribbed collar
• The collar seam at the back is covered by a band of matching fabric, so it won't rub your neck during a long set
• Wide stitching finishes the sleeves and the bottom hem with a tidy look

Who it's for

For Viking metal devotees, headbangers with a drawer full of concert tees, guitar players and anyone raised on Norse sagas. Wear it under a studded denim vest, around a festival campfire or on the road to a Viking reenactment fair. It makes a fine holiday, Father's Day or birthday gift, especially for the buddy whose ticket stubs fill a shoebox.

Quick answers

What size should I order?

Order one size up: this tee is cut about a size smaller than typical US sizing. It's a men's tee. Check the size guide next to the size options for each size's length, width, sleeve and chest.

Is it a band shirt?

No. It's an original RaZits design with no band or record label behind it. The top banner names the music style, and the lower banner carries a short fire slogan in the same old-style lettering.

Is the worn look a printing fault?

No. The faded, scratched texture is drawn into the art on purpose, so the crest looks like a vintage patch or an old gig poster from the first wear.

Anything on the back?

Nothing: the back is left plain. The crest is one large print on the chest, and its own dark, fiery backdrop keeps it easy to read on light and dark shirts alike.

How should I care for it?

Cold machine wash, inside out, then a low tumble dry or a line dry. Keep bleach and high heat away from it.
