Odin in Black and White
This Viking Odin t-shirt renders the helmeted god figure in pure black and white, with no intermediate gray: thick beard, horned helmet, and a frontal gaze, set against a background of interlacing patterns that cover the sleeves like a tattoo design. The print is all-over. Find this model in our viking t-shirt collection.

What Sets This T-Shirt Apart
Black and white without halftones is the most difficult look to achieve on a face.
- Engraving style: volumes are built with hatching, like a woodcut engraving, rather than gradients—this is what gives the design its strength.
- Tattooed sleeves: the interlacing patterns extend down the arms and continue the figure instead of stopping at the armhole.
- Sublimation: the tightest hatching does not blur into solid patches, even over the seams.
- Lightweight polyester: maximum contrast that does not fade with washing, unlike printed cotton.
The same bichrome approach, applied to a dragon, can be found on the black and white model.
Choosing Your Size
These measurements are for the garment laid flat, not for your body. Width is measured from one armpit seam to the other; the chest circumference is this width multiplied by two. Please allow for a tolerance of one to two centimeters: these garments are measured by hand. The manufacturer does not provide measurements for XS.
| Size | Flat Width | Chest Circumference |
|---|---|---|
| XXS | 48 cm | 96 cm |
| S | 50 cm | 100 cm |
| M | 53 cm | 106 cm |
| L | 56 cm | 112 cm |
| XL | 59 cm | 118 cm |
| 2XL | 62 cm | 124 cm |
| 3XL | 65 cm | 130 cm |
| 4XL | 68 cm | 136 cm |
| 5XL | 71 cm | 142 cm |
The foolproof method: take a t-shirt you already own and that fits you well. Lay it flat and measure from one armpit seam to the other. Compare this figure with the Flat Width column: no calculations needed. This way, you are comparing a garment to a garment, without relying on theoretical sizes—and it is precisely these theoretical sizes that vary from one manufacturer to another.
The fit runs small, with narrower shoulders and a shorter body than a European cut of an equivalent size. If between two sizes, choose the larger one: this is the advice that prevents the most returns.
A word on letters. These sizes follow a specific nomenclature, and beyond XXL, ready-to-wear brands in the West barely use them: a 4XL, 5XL, or 6XL does not correspond to any standard size. Worse, the same letter doesn't mean the same thing from one manufacturer to another: in this range, an "L" can go from 94 to 112 cm in chest circumference depending on the model. Do not trust the letter, trust the centimeters.

Did you know?
Odin is the Norse god with the most names: Old Norse literature has preserved more than two hundred of them. The Grímnismál alone lists about fifty in a long tirade where the god reveals himself—Grímnir the masked one, Hárr the high one, Báleygr the flame-eyed, Sigfǫðr father of victory, Valfǫðr father of the slain, Gangleri the tired traveler. This proliferation is not merely decorative: in skaldic poetry, knowing how to name a god in ten different ways was a technical skill, because the meter required choosing the name that rhymed. The Norse pantheon has reached us through poems, and its form bears the mark of their constraints.

Is the horned helmet historical?
No. It comes from the costumes designed by Carl Emil Doepler for Wagner's Ring cycle in 1876. No horned helmet from the Viking Age has ever been found in an excavation.
How many names does Odin have?
More than two hundred in Old Norse literature. The Grímnismál alone lists about fifty of them.
Are the sleeves printed?
Yes, fully: the knotwork runs down the arms and extends the design from the torso.
Are there any grays in the print?
Very few. The image is built up with black hatching on white, like an engraving, rather than with gradients.
