Is this Santa from a soda ad or a cartoon?

No. He’s an original Santa drawn for this shirt in a 1950s greeting-card style, not based on any brand mascot.

Which shirt color shows the pink lettering best?

White and Natural keep it soft and vintage, and Black makes the pink and red pop. On Heather Red the letters read as a tone-on-tone look.

How loose is the relaxed fit?

It’s a women’s cut with room through the body and sleeves, in S to 3XL across all four colors.

Is this a pink Santa shirt?

Partly. Santa wears classic red, but his sack is full of pink-wrapped gifts and HO HO HO is in pink letters, so it reads as a pink Santa shirt on White or Natural.

How do I wash this graphic tee?

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.

The story+

Ho ho ho, the way Santa says it on an old greeting card: loud, round and happy. This retro Santa shirt is for the woman who keeps every Christmas card on the mantel until January.

The art shows an original round-faced Santa mid-laugh, rosy cheeks and a fluffy white beard, with a bulging red sack of pink striped and polka-dot gifts slung over his shoulder. HO HO HO bounces across the top in tall, bubbly pink letters, with little pink stars around him. Drawn in mid-century greeting-card style with fine black linework, it’s a vintage Santa shirt in red, pink and cream.

Wear it to the office party, a cookie exchange or the Santa line with the kids, with jeans and a red lip. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
