What it is printed on
Comfort Colors 1717. Six point one ounces of 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed, so the color sits in the fiber rather than on top of it and goes soft rather than thin. It arrives already broken in. Unisex sizing, S to 3XL.
Each shirt is printed after you order it. Nothing is held in a warehouse, and when the season ends the design is not reprinted.

What is actually on the shirt
Halloween is the vigil of All Saints. We are bringing back the medieval Catholic artistic motif of the danse macabre, in which the living and dead alternate, each rank paired with a skeleton, because rank stops at the grave. We dress as ghouls to mock the devil, because Christ has already defeated death.
Join the families keeping Hallowtide the way the Church does, one feast at a time.
Wearing the year the Church keeps
The calendar is not decoration, and it is not only for inside a church. Wearing the feast on the day it falls puts you inside it, and gives whoever is standing next to you a reason to ask about it. A shirt goes to the school pickup and the grocery store, which is more than a holy card in a drawer ever does.
Halloween was ours first
All Hallows' Eve is the vigil of All Saints, and the costumes, the sweets and the mockery of death all grew out of that night. Reclaiming the feast does not mean refusing it. It means keeping it for the reason it exists, and being ready always to give a reason of that hope which is in you.
“Use this t-shirt to ask the question, ‘what do we do about all this chaos and death’ and the rest of the series to ‘answer’ that question.”
“Surrounding the Danse Macabre title treatment is the sun and the rain, to show that the sun shines and rain falls on everyone, regardless of status.”
