Dance Like Death Is Watching Tee
Dance Like Death Is Watching Tee
What is this about
In 1485, Guyot Marchant copied verses painted on the walls of a Parisian cemetery and printed them as the first Danse Macabre - Death leading pope and pauper alike toward the same grave, a reminder that rank buys no exemption. By the eighteenth century the image had trickled down into the Bibliothèque bleue, the cheap woodcut chapbooks hawked door to door across France, among them a 1728 Troyes edition illustrated with four skeleton musicians on its title page.
This shirt borrows that page. Four skeletons, their instruments, and a phrase that's been true since 1485: Dance like Death is watching.
Printed on a heavyweight Gildan tee, 100% cotton, imported.

Size Guide
Fit runs true and slightly boxy, measured flat double the width number for full chest. Length goes from about 28" at S to 33" at 3XL, width from 18" to 28", sleeve from about 15.5" to 23", growing in even steps as sizes go up. Fastest way to pick one: lay a tee you own flat and compare its length and underarm-to-underarm width to these numbers.
