A kirin — the horned chimera of Japanese myth — stitched across the chest and the back in dense thread.
Highlights
✓High-density embroidery on the front and the back panel, so the motif keeps its color and its edges long after a print would have gone soft.
✓100% supersoft ringspun cotton — a smooth hand feel that is comfortable straight out of the bag, with no wash-in period.
✓Two colorways — the kirin reads loud on White and closer to tonal on Black, so pick by how much attention you want it pulling.
✓Regular true-to-size USA fit across S through XXXL; order your usual size, or go one up if you sit between two.
✓Cool wash, low dryer — cotton shrinks in heat, and a big stitched panel puckers when the fabric around it moves.
The kirin is a composite creature — scaled like a dragon, hooved like a deer, horned like neither — and it rewards being stitched rather than printed, because the thread gives each borrowed part its own direction and sheen.
Reach for it when the rest of the outfit is plain, since the embroidery is already doing the work. It layers like any cotton tee: under an open shirt, under a bomber, or on its own in summer. More in men's shirts and across menswear, and the same creature runs on the heavier Embroidered Kirin sweater.
Black or White, sizes S through XXXL. 100% ringspun cotton with front and back embroidery. Regular USA sizing — size up if you are between sizes.
