Skull Print Gothic Santa Ugly Christmas 3D Hoodie

A Christmas tree built entirely out of skulls sits in the middle of this black hoodie, white ones and deep red ones stacked into a rough triangle, several wearing tiny Santa hats, with a small gold star balanced on the very tip. It takes a second to register what the branches are made of. Then it’s all you see.

Skull Print Gothic Santa Ugly Christmas 3D Hoodie, Gold Star and All

Our Skull Print Gothic Santa Ugly Christmas 3D Hoodie is a pullover for anyone who loves the knitted look of a holiday sweater but would rather hang a skull on the tree than an angel. Snowflakes in different sizes drift across the black ground, so the tree seems to stand in the middle of a quiet snowfall. Around the hem, over the shoulders and down each sleeve, cream-white bands repeat in a Fair Isle rhythm: skulls in Santa hats, starburst snowflakes, rows of little black pines, zigzag edges. The hood and cuffs stay solid black, which keeps the pattern in the middle where it belongs. The colors stay tight: black, cream, a deep red and one flash of gold.

This hoodie suits the person who has worn black every December since high school and still turns up to the family dinner in a Santa hat. It suits the friend who keeps candles and bones on the shelf all year and switches to tinsel the first week of December. Because it is made for men and women alike, partners and siblings can share the same design. Tree trimming night, a gift swap, an ugly sweater party where everyone else is wearing reindeer: it holds its own at each one. Strangers ask about the tree. Friends already know why you’d own it. And it comes along on the walk afterward, hood up, snow landing on the shoulders.

When else can the skull tree hoodie come out?

Snowflakes and pines read as winter as much as Christmas, so the hoodie works from the first cold weekend of November through the last of January, at bonfires, ski-town dinners or a plain Sunday on the couch. The skulls also keep it comfortable in a gothic wardrobe long after the Santa hats come off.

Wherever the evening goes, the little gold star at the top of that skull tree will be the first thing to catch the light.
