Anyone who knows f**k-all about t-shirts will tell you that the greatest tie-dyed animal tees in the world come from the legendary brand known as “THE MOUNTAIN”.

We at Upper Playground respect this level of accomplishment in the T-shirt world (game recognize game), and have proudly embarked on a collaboration with the grand champion of animal tee shirts. Introducing the Upper Playground x The Mountain “Walrus Face” collaboration. Wear this T-shirt and think “two great tee brands joined forces so that I could wear this epic Walrus Face tee” and somehow the world is suddenly a better place to be.

Upper Playground is pleased to present the HATI Premium T-shirt by master wood block carver, illustrator and installation artist, Dennis McNett.  For his debut with Upper Playground, the artist  shares with us his signature ‘wolfbat” design and introduces us to the world of HATI:

“The wolf is Hati, who chases the moon throughout the night. He is son of Fenris, the great wolf who devoured Odin on the battlefield during Ragnarok. The patterns represent kinetic energy from the moon and the wolf that pores from them both.” -DM

Color printed with reactive dyes to ensure lasting quality and softness that is unmatched by older technologies like dye sublimation or screen printing.  Feel free to drop in our Fillmore store to check these Premium T-shirts or purchase them online HERE.
