“Mostly good this year.” Krampus, Kramperl.
In the villages of Austria, Bavaria and South Tyrol, Krampus is the shaggy, horned companion who walks beside St Nicholas on the night of 5 December. Young men in carved wooden masks and sheepskins run through the streets with cowbells, chains and birch switches, and the noise is meant to chase winter's dark spirits away. Parents once used him to coax good behaviour; today he is a beloved, theatrical piece of Alpine Advent, more mischief than menace, and his postcards have been sent for over a century.
Printed on a heavyweight, garment-dyed Comfort Colors tee with a soft, lived-in fade.
From The Deity Project, a living encyclopedia of the sacred.
Three ways to wear it: the classic tee is soft and lightweight ($29); the garment-dyed tee is heavier, with a softly faded, lived-in colour ($36); the garment-dyed one-ink tee prints the design and its line in a single ink, in soft earthy colours ($34).
