About this design
A tall black hat, a red coat with gold braid and a wooden sword.
The story behind it
In E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 Christmas story, a wooden toy soldier with a hinged jaw, a Christmas Eve gift for a girl, comes to life and leads the toys into battle against a seven-headed Mouse King. German toymakers were already carving wooden figures like him, so our tough-looking soldier has a soft spot to match.
Proposed colors: White
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
