Distressed Gothic Muscle Shirt

The Distressed Gothic Muscle Shirt carries a pair of winged skulls and an ornate cross, drawn in charcoal and pink, across a heavyweight sleeveless body that comes in washed grey or white.

The body is 100% cotton knitted at 270 gsm (8.0 oz): a thick, moderately breathable jersey that holds the line of the shoulder instead of clinging. The garment wash leaves the grey mottled and faded, closer to olive than to charcoal.

The armholes are cut wide open and trimmed with a row of metal eyelets running from the shoulder point down to the underarm. The ribbed round neck and the hem are deliberately distressed: small punched holes along the collar, a torn opening at the hem and two loose threads left hanging at the side seam. The back is left plain.

The shape is loose and boxy. The shoulder measures 56 cm across in S and 60 cm in 2XL, the body runs 67 cm long in S and 75 cm in 2XL, and the chest is 126 cm around in S. Wear it alone or layer it over a long sleeve from our muscle shirts; the other sleeveless prints sit in our Y2K tank tops selection.

FAQ

How does it fit? Deliberately oversized and boxy, with a dropped shoulder. The chest measures 126 cm around in S, so size down for a closer fit.

Are the holes and frayed edges intended? Yes. The punched holes at the collar, the torn hem and the hanging threads are part of the distressed finish, not a fault.

How do I wash it? Machine wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle, no bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on low heat away from the print.
