Mr. Bones Puzzle Candy was the brainchild of a man named Vero Ricci, who created some very memorable plastic candy containers back in the day. After designing those little plastic garbage cans filled with candy, he turned his attention to something a little more morbid, a plastic coffin. Produced in a variety of colors, each box contained an assortment of candy pieces that were shaped like various human bones. These pieces interlocked like a jigsaw puzzle, and if you had all fifteen, you could create Mr. Bones, the namesake of this confection, but not every coffin contained all of the pieces. The candy was pretty forgettable - just your typical dextrose-based, fruit-flavored pressed powder - so nobody was buying Mr. Bones because they loved the taste or anything - it was all about that little coffin filled with bones and the thought of assembling the titular character.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
