The Lion King Sunset T-Shirt, Black Cotton

Two lions against a sinking sun

The print is laid out like a cinema poster turned upright. An enormous sun drops behind banks of cloud and the sky burns orange and yellow. On a rocky ledge at the front a grown lion and a cub look out together into the distance, both of them nothing but dark silhouette. The golden words The Lion King stand along the bottom, the Disney logo above them. Against the black cloth the warm tones come out strongly, yet the gradient never breaks off hard.

What the cloth does

Merchcode works cotton alone into a jersey of 160 grams to the square metre. The material is smooth to the hand. The neck opening is finished round with a band, and the sleeves fall short and straight. Three widths are offered, L, XL and XXL, a run cut rather more for heavy builds than for slim ones.

Who it suits

A present for anyone who joins in the moment Hakuna Matata starts, and a quiet fan shirt for everyday wear: from a few paces away the silhouettes read as graphic rather than playful. Turn the cloth inside out for the wash and keep the temperature down.
