Two Crossed Axes, Two Skulls Below

This Viking sweatshirt is the most straightforward in the range: two axes crossed in an X at the center of the chest, bright blades pointing upward, and two stylized skulls placed beneath, all rendered in a tattoo style against a background of dark interlacing patterns. The back changes the subject, featuring a composition of knots and runes instead. Find it in our Viking sweatshirt collection.

For skulls hidden within the ornament rather than displayed prominently, see the Skulls and Yggdrasil model.


What Sets This Sweatshirt Apart

The tattoo style requires a thick and confident line: this is what distinguishes it from an illustrative drawing.

  • Tattoo linework: thick outlines, line shading rather than gradients—the graphic vocabulary is consistent from start to finish.
  • The only weapon in the range: out of twenty-six models, this is the only one to feature an axe.
  • Different front and back: the back abandons the skulls for interlacing patterns, which avoids a repetitive effect.
  • Blended knit: acrylic, polyester, and elastane, softer than polyester alone.

For the same family of imagery but with a tongue-in-cheek approach, see the Valhalla-la Christmas sweatshirt.

Did you know?

The most feared Viking axe was not a woodsman's tool but the breiðøx, the broad-bladed Danish axe, mounted on a handle one to one point two meters long and wielded with two hands. The Bayeux Tapestry shows several in the hands of Anglo-Saxon huscarls—descendants of a guard of Scandinavian origin. Its very thin blade, sometimes less than two millimeters at the edge, made it light and fast, but fragile: it was a specialist weapon, not a versatile raid tool.

Which print style to choose?

Print typeWhat it looks likeWhen to choose it
Placed designThe body of the sweatshirt stays plain: the design is limited to the chest, the sleeves and the back.When you want to wear the garment without the design ruling your day. It is also the only model available in fourteen color and ink combinations.
All-over printThe fabric is printed before assembly: front, back, sleeves, hood and right up to the seams.When the garment is meant to be seen. Fifteen different designs, all in polyester, from 2XS to 4XL.
All-over print, finer artwork this productThe same full coverage, but a more detailed drawing and an acrylic, polyester and elastane knit.When you look at a garment up close before buying it, or if polyester alone feels too stiff. Sizes up to 5XL, and up to 6XL for the zip-up model.

Choosing your size

The manufacturer provides no size chart for the sweatshirts in this range. We would rather tell you so than publish a measurement chart we would have made up.

The method that never fails: take a sweatshirt you already wear and that fits you well. Lay it flat and measure from one armpit seam to the other. Write this number down: it is your benchmark. You are comparing one garment with another, without going through a theoretical size, and theoretical sizes are precisely what vary from one manufacturer to another.

The cut runs small: narrower in the shoulders and shorter in the body than a European cut of the same size. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one: this is the advice that avoids the most returns.

A word about the letters. Beyond XXL, these labels follow no common standard: a 4XL, 5XL or 6XL has no fixed equivalent, and the same letter does not mean the same thing from one manufacturer to another. Do not trust the letter, trust the centimeter.
