What this premium T-shirt is like
It is a Bella + Canvas 3001 in combed, ring-spun cotton, 142 gsm. That is fine fabric: the T-shirt you wear on its own in summer and under something the rest of the year, the one that does not bulk up under a shirt. The cut is unisex and straight, with a side seam and shoulder-to-shoulder taping, which is what keeps the neck from going wavy after ten washes.

The drawing goes on one side only, on the chest, printed straight onto the fabric with water-based inks. It is not a vinyl stuck on top: you cannot feel it when you run your hand over it, it does not crackle when you fold it and it has no edge for it to start peeling from. In exchange the ink lives inside the cotton and ages with it, so after many washes it loses a shade of black, like any well-made printed T-shirt.
Inside out, at 30 °C, no bleach, and never iron over the print. Of the whole catalogue this is the piece that will go through the washing machine most often, and that is why it is the one that gains most from those three rules. Being a light fabric, it can be slightly sheer in white and in light colours: if you want more body, the same design is there on a sweatshirt.

The drawing on «La Gorgona»
The Gorgon's head seen face on: bulging eyes, two fangs and, instead of hair, nine snakes coming out of the skull with their tongues out. It is the Gorgon, not the jellyfish.
Where this drawing comes from
It stares straight at you, and that is on purpose: the gorgoneion was set on shields and on roof eaves precisely so that whoever arrived would run into the face.
It is the Greek gorgoneion of the 7th to 5th centuries BC, the one set on roof antefixes and on shields precisely so that it would stare straight at whoever came close. The snakes for hair are told by Ovid in «Metamorphoses» IV, 790-803, when Minerva turns her hair into serpents.
