The "Baron Samedi" Voodoo Skull & Top Hat T-Shirt
Are you alive? Are you quite sure? Please, check your pulse. If it thumps, you require clothing; society demands it. If it does not thump, you still require clothing; unadorned apparitions are a terrible faux pas. In either state of being, we present a tubular garment made of woven threads with exactly three holes for your appendages: The Baron Samedi T-Shirt.
You see, the universe is expanding, the coffee is getting cold, and eventually, we must all attend the great, eternal after-party. Why not dress for the host?
The Anthropological Absurdity of the Baron:
Behold the visage of Baron Samedi, the head of the Guédé family of Loa in Haitian Vodou. He is the master of the dead, the keeper of the cemetery, and the only entity who truly knows how to throw a wake.
The Sartorial Subversion: Notice his top hat and tailcoat. Is he going to the opera? No. This iconic look is a brilliant, centuries-old historical mockery of the European colonial undertaker. The enslaved peoples of Saint-Domingue took the gloomy attire of their oppressors' funerals and turned it into a symbol of riotous, obscene, and unstoppable life.
The Vision of Two Worlds: He is often depicted wearing sunglasses, sometimes with a right lens missing. Why? Because the Baron must keep one eye on the realm of the living and one eye on the realm of the dead simultaneously. It is a terrible strain on the optic nerve.
The Ultimate Guardian: He ensures corpses rot in the ground so they cannot be turned into mindless zombies. A very practical public service, really.
Why This Garment is Logically Indispensable:
Existential Comfort: Crafted from premium cotton that is infinitely more breathable than six feet of compacted earth.
SEO-Optimized Metaphysics: This shirt is designed to rank highly on search engines, though it will do absolutely nothing to rank you higher in the afterlife.
Durable Pigments: The high-quality print of the smoking skull will withstand countless wash cycles. It will outlast your current philosophical crisis, and possibly your washing machine.
A Flawless Icebreaker: Wear it to the grocery store. When someone asks about the skull, you may calmly explain the syncretic cultural history of the African diaspora, right there in the produce aisle.
Buy this shirt immediately. You are going to die one day, but until then, your torso is horribly exposed to the elements.

I purchased this to test to see if zazzle was producing good quality.
Needless to say, they are.
The sizing runs a bit on the small size though. Print quality is perfect. What you see on the screen is what you get.

Ordered the Irish terrier t shirt. I love it! There was a slight issue with sizing ( my fault) but their customer service was amazing. New t shirt within 5 days. I recommend getting 1 to 2 sizes bigger. I am wearing Men's size large.
