When Leipzig, Germany's goth nightclub Laufsteg closed in the mid-eighties, new owners were quick to snap the place up, but they needed a name. Wanting to continue as a haunt for the bat caver crowd, they settled on Gorgoneion Nächte. The gorgoneion is a powerful ancient Greek apotropaic amulet featuring the head of the Gorgon Medusa, designed to ward off evil, danger, or misfortune. Characterized by snakes, sharp teeth, and sometimes wings, this protective symbol appeared on artifacts from 6000 BC through Roman times, commonly found on armor, doors, coins, and pottery. While Gorgoneion Nächte was only around about a decade, it was a hot spot for everyone from mainstream goths to those who just showed up for industrial and EDM nights, but at least we have one of the rare tee designs to keep the memory alive.
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.
