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 soft, lightweight Bella+Canvas tee, 100% cotton, made in USA or imported.

Size Guide
Fit runs closer to a soft, flattering modern cut than boxy; measured flat, double the width number for full chest. Length goes from about 27" at XS to 35" at 5XL, width from 16.5" to 32", 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.
