Tiger Clothes

Tiger clothes carry the animal on fabric in many ways: a face printed across a chest, a tiger stitched in golden thread down the back of a jacket, or nothing but stripes running from collar to cuff like a second coat of fur. This collection gathers all of our tiger clothing in one place, from t-shirts and shirts to hoodies, coats and jackets, with swimwear, pajamas, caps and belts alongside. The tigers come as photographs, painted portraits, cartoon cubs, tattoo art, embroidery and military camouflage.

T-shirts, tank tops and shirts with a tiger

The largest part of the range sits in our tiger t-shirt collection, with designs running from a photographic tiger splashing through water to a portrait painted in shades of gray, cartoon cubs, Japanese-style art, neon colors and a yin and yang design. Several are printed edge to edge, so the picture carries on over the sleeves, and others are finished with sequins or embroidery.

A tiger tank top takes the same ideas without sleeves: tiger faces, black and white prints, stripes, camouflage and a pink tiger print cut for women. Our tiger shirt collection adds buttons and collars, with long-sleeved shirts printed in orange fur and black stripes and a long-sleeved design for women. The Men's Tiger Hawaiian Shirt is the brightest of them: short sleeves, an open camp collar and a painted tiger face filling the whole front, its amber eyes looking out and flowers in orange, teal and pink crowning the head.

Tiger clothing with a hood

Our tiger hoodie collection holds photographic tiger faces, 3D-style prints, white tigers, golden Chinese tigers, stripes in orange or in white and purple, and a green tiger stripe camo style. The Hyper-Realistic Tiger Head Hoodie is a black zip-up with a drawstring hood and a lifelike tiger face across the chest, the zipper running straight down between its eyes.

A tiger sweatshirt drops the hood and keeps the big artwork. One shows a blue tiger in a tattoo style crawling down through red flames in front of a rust-colored sun on a cream ground; others carry white tiger heads, a saber-toothed cat, Japanese art or vintage-style prints.

Our tiger coat collection goes longer and warmer. The Tiger Print Coat is a hooded, cloak-style coat with a cream, fleecy lining at the hood. On its back a tiger seems to climb out through a torn black panel, paws hanging over the edge, while the hood and sleeves are covered in orange fur and black stripes. It comes in a stripes version or a flames version. Beside it hangs a shaggy faux fur jacket in tan with black stripes, offered in a Bengal tiger or a Siberian tiger version.

Jackets: embroidered bombers and tiger stripe camo

The tiger jacket collection gives the animal the most room: bombers with tigers across the back, denim and jean jackets, a tiger versus dragon design, a women's baseball jacket and the faux fur jacket from the coats. On the Golden Embroidered Tiger Bomber Jacket, a large tiger embroidered in gold-colored thread comes down the back of a black bomber, head turned and jaws open, its body filled with checkerboard and stripe patterns set against the dark fabric.

The Tiger Stripe Jacket Military ECWCS keeps only the stripes, in a camouflage of black, brown and golden yellow. ECWCS stands for Extended Cold Weather Clothing System, a US Army layering system, and the jacket has the lines of a military parka: a drawstring hood, a pocket on the upper sleeve, tabs at the cuffs and a drawcord at the hem. Tiger stripe camo is closely tied to the Vietnam War, when South Vietnamese units and American special forces wore it, and our article on whether tiger stripe camo is effective looks at how well the pattern actually conceals.

Swimwear and sleepwear

A tiger bikini turns the stripes into swimwear, in classic orange as well as blue, pink or yellow, with cuts ranging from a triangle halter top with tie-side bottoms to a V-neck, a sling style and a top sold on its own.

Our tiger pajamas run from long-sleeved men's sets printed with orange cartoon tigers among leaves on a turquoise ground to a women's cami set with thin straps and loose pants in a tiger fur print. There are also pajamas for boys, sets in sky blue and burgundy, and pajama pants on their own.

Caps and belts

A tiger cap brings the tiger up to eye level. Several are baseball and trucker caps with an embroidered patch, such as one with white front panels, a black mesh back and a square patch showing a tiger head above the word TIGER. Cartoon tigers, white tigers, camouflage, yin and yang and tribal designs fill out the range.

Our tiger belt collection puts a sculpted tiger on every buckle: tiger heads in gold, brass and gunmetal tones, a round buckle ringed with small clear stones, a whole tiger crouching inside an open frame, and a green camouflage webbing belt.

Tiger clothes for men, women and children

Plenty of designs are labeled for men, from the Hawaiian shirt and printed hoodies to tank tops and pajama sets. For women there are bikinis, cami pajama sets, a long-sleeved shirt, a pink tank top and a sweatshirt, and many t-shirts, hoodies and caps are not labeled for either. Younger wearers have pajamas for boys and tiger shoes in kids' and youth sizes.

Sizes from XXS to 8XL

Hoodies run from XXS on some designs to 6XL on others, several t-shirts run up to 5XL, and the button-up shirts go as far as 8XL. Our apparel size chart gives chest, shoulder and length measurements for hoodies, jackets and t-shirts, plus a guide for tank tops. Bikinis run from XS to 2XL.

A long history on cloth

In Chinese tradition the tiger is one of the twelve zodiac animals and the king of the beasts, and the markings on its forehead are traditionally read as the character for king. Tigers were also favorite motifs on the sukajan, the embroidered souvenir jackets that grew up around the US Navy base at Yokosuka in Japan after the Second World War, and embroidered tiger bombers still echo that style.

The same tiger in jewelry and accessories

Beyond tiger clothes, our tiger jewelry collection carries the motif onto rings with sculpted tiger heads, pendants, earrings, bracelets and watches, and our tiger accessories range gathers backpacks, keychains, mugs, phone cases and embroidered patches made for decorating a jacket. The Tiger-Universe home page leads to everything else, from decor to toys.
