Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a "mimic"?
In fantasy games like Dungeons & Dragons, a mimic is a monstrous predator that disguises itself as an inanimate object—often a treasure chest—to lure in and attack unsuspecting adventurers. This shirt playfully reimagines that concept as an arcade joystick.
What is a "garment-dyed" shirt?
It means the shirt is dyed after it has been fully constructed, not before. This process creates an incredibly soft, "broken-in" feel and a richer, more nuanced color, giving it the comfortable character of a vintage find.
Is the fit of this shirt oversized?
It's a "relaxed fit," which is more comfortable and less form-fitting than a slim-fit tee, but not typically considered oversized. For a true oversized look, we recommend ordering one size up.
Is the design based on a specific game?
No, it's an original piece of surreal art inspired by the aesthetics of 80s arcade games and the classic "mimic" monster from tabletop RPGs.
