The faded black cotton still smells faintly of the dryer sheet, a clean, comforting scent that always brings a smile. My MXPX Band Santa PX Black shirt isn’t just a piece of clothing; it’s a time capsule. I remember buying it at a small record store tucked away in the backstreets of a town I don’t visit anymore. The clerk, a guy with a pierced eyebrow and a sly grin, told me it was the last one in my size. I probably overpaid, but I didn’t care; I was finally getting a proper MXPX shirt, and this one, with the Santa PX design, felt particularly festive, even if it was July. It immediately became a staple.

Worn countless times to sweaty, packed-out shows and casual hangouts with friends, the shirt has seen more than its fair share of spilled beer and late-night pizza grease. There’s a tiny, almost imperceptible tear near the collar, a casualty of a particularly enthusiastic mosh pit. Honestly, I didn’t even notice it until recently, while folding it after a laundry day. It adds character though. That’s probably the best part.

That Santa design, with Mike Herrera’s signature skull-and-crossbones take on the jolly old elf, always sparks conversation. People recognize it, they remember the band, and often share a little story about their connection to MXPX. One time, a woman at a grocery store checkout even started singing snippets of “Chick Magnet.” That was a surprise, but it was also pretty awesome.


The shirt’s darkness has slightly lightened over time, the graphic less sharp, softened by repeated washes. The collar doesn’t quite sit right anymore, and the sleeves are slightly stretched. Still, wearing it feels like wrapping myself in a memory blanket. Each little imperfection tells its own story. I was younger, feeling more optimistic, but just as awkward.
Description for MXPX Band Santa PX Black shirt
I haven’t worn the shirt as frequently in recent years, life being what it is. I have a more grown-up job now and the dress code certainly doesn’t allow for band shirts, not even on casual Fridays. But I still pull it out every holiday season, or sometimes, when I’m feeling nostalgic, just to bring back the good ol’ days. The fabric is still fairly soft, even if the threads are starting to show their age.


Putting on my MXPX Band Santa PX Black shirt always puts me in a good mood. It’s a reminder of a simpler time, when all that mattered was the music, good friends, and the thrill of a live show. It might be just a piece of worn cloth, but to me, it’s so much more. It’s a piece of my history. It’s a tangible link to a younger, more energetic me.

I ordered the medium and it fits perfectly, not tight but just the right amount of loose it looks so good. Great quality, the images on the front and back are really crisp and good quality. Super soft and black isn’t sheer in any way. Love it! Thanks so much!

Perfect, perfect. perfect. Classic Gildan fit
Collars are nice and snug. Any guy with the slightest idea of how to dress will appreciate this. unless you’re always shooting for the “just left the gym” look, your collars should be snug. Gives you a nice clean look. Shirts fit well too. You shouldn’t be shooting for a tent look. If you are, buy a tent. If you’re a little chunky, own your lumps. Much better than walking around like you’re camping. Speaking from experience here.
