La Velue Medieval Monster Men's V-Neck
La Velue Medieval Monster Men's V-Neck
La Velue, literally "the hairy one," was the terror of the River Huisne in France during the middle ages. It is portrayed in this beautiful 1889 pamphlet illustration in all its serpent-headed, turtle-shelled, poison-spiked glory. La Velue was known for laying waste to the countryside, gorging itself in the sheep-folds, devouring the local women and children, and sometimes breathing fire or causing floods. It's all a little vague. It might be the same creature that is called the Tarasque in Provence, and the Peluda in Spain.
The historic illustration is presented here without any modifications or additions, because it's just that good.
This tee is made with 100% combed ringspun cotton (except for the heather grey, which containers 10% polyester). What does that mean, exactly? That's t-shirt people speak for "it's comfy." It's pre-laundered by the manufacturer to ensure a great fit without shrinkage, and it has a tear-away label because nobody likes a scratchy collar tag.
