Yule Cat Shirts and Cozy Christmas Sweatshirts

In Icelandic folklore the Yule Cat roams on Christmas Eve looking for anyone who didn't get new clothes. Our raccoon takes this very seriously. Cozy Christmas shirts and sweatshirts with a giant black cat, a lot of fair isle knitwear and one nutcracker frog.

About this collection

The Yule Cat, Jólakötturinn in Icelandic, is one of the stranger Christmas legends: a giant cat that prowls the snow on Christmas Eve and eats anyone who hasn't received a new piece of clothing. Icelandic families made sure everyone had something new to wear. Our raccoon has taken the same approach, with mixed results.

These designs work as Christmas shirts for people who like their holidays a little weird: folklore fans, black cat people, ugly sweater party regulars. Most come as a tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie, so you can pick something warm enough for December.

Looking for a Yule Cat sweater or sweatshirt rather than a tee? Most of these designs also come as a Comfort Colors crewneck and hoodie, which makes them an easy Christmas cat shirt alternative to the usual ugly sweater.
