Father’s Day T-Shirts for the Goth Father

What to buy Dad for Father’s Day? He already has everything he wants right, so it’s the thought that really counts for Father’s Day! Look, if you get it right with an awesome T-Shirt, that gets his sense of humor, his interests AND that he would wear in front of his friends – then you can be proud!  What would he actually wear in public? What if you only wear black, is your father a goth?

Could you or your father be a Goth Father?

Look, he’s not strictly goth (think make-up, black velvet, blood vials) – but for the purpose of humor I am talking about the ghostly goth-looking, black-wearing, skinny dads that seem to always look out of place… even at home! He wears black, always, even in the summer. Just black, black tee, black jeans, black hat, black socks – you get the idea? Conversely, his skin glows a ghostly pale white – he’s almost translucent! He’s sullen and sulky and serious, this is reflected in his music choices. Feeling feelings and being sad is ok. As he only wears black Father’s Day gifts are a simple choice with these t-shirts 

 
Symptoms: 
  1. Everything is black… even his outlook
  2. Wears black… until they come out with something darker
  3. He’s not sad, he’s melancholic
  4. Translucent skin, seriously, he blinded someone when exposing a leg once
  5. So skinny his bones get sunburnt
  6. Dislikes other humans, except his family … sometimes
  7. Was once mistaken for Robert Smith… and is proud of that. 
  8. Runs the local renaissance fair to historical perfection
  9. Still dyes his hair (don’t ask what color)

Words to live by:

“Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.”

 

His hobbies include: 

  1. Death Metal
  2. Ren Fairs
  3. Vampires

His ideal gift would be: 

  • Being a vampire

The ideal T-shirt gifts for him: 

And for Xmas?

Something black, that highlights his “very dark” humor…

I compiled a list of t-shirts for Father’s Day that should cover all bases.

Vintage-Style Horror T-Shirts

There’s something about a vintage-style horror tee that just feels different. It’s not fresh-out-of-the-box – more like found-in-an-attic. The print’s a little cracked and faded, and the cotton’s soft like it’s seen many nights. Vintage horror tees carry the same nostalgia as worn vinyl sleeves and movie posters. They remind you of the genre’s roots and your love for it. Discover what makes these tees timeless and why every horror fan should own one!
