Care Label — Redcap Scottish Folklore T-Shirt
Rural Myth Co. | Field & Folklore
Some care instructions are stricter than others.
Wash cold.
Tumble dry low.
Do not bleach.
Unless, of course, you’re dealing with a Redcap.
Then things get considerably more complicated.
According to Scottish Borders folklore, the Redcap is a squat, unpleasant goblin who haunts ruined peel towers, wears heavy iron boots, and must keep his cap red.
If the cap loses its color, the creature dies.
Which makes proper garment care rather important.
Our Care Label — Redcap folklore shirt presents the legendary creature’s cap as an ordinary woven clothing label.
The instructions are straightforward:
REDCAP
100% WOOL · BORDER COUNTRY
CARE: DO NOT LET IT FADE.
Five familiar laundry-care symbols appear beneath the label.
Every single one is crossed out.
No washing.
No bleaching.
No tumble drying.
No ironing.
No dry cleaning.
Apparently, the manufacturer is not accepting responsibility for what happens if the color fades.
Rendered in Bone, Rust Red, and Pine Black, this minimalist vintage-inspired design combines Scottish folklore with the sort of laundry instructions you really shouldn’t ignore.
Part of the Field & Folklore Collection from Rural Myth Co.
Perfect for Scottish folklore enthusiasts, folk-horror collectors, dark-humor lovers, cryptid fans, textile enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a care label with unusually serious consequences.
CARE: DO NOT LET IT FADE.
Some colors are worth preserving.
This one is apparently mandatory.
Available in Grape, Moss, Pepper, Washed Denim, and Espresso.
