Description
Darkness Is the Default. Let It Speak.
The Hell of a Time Black Tee by Mudguard strips it all down and doubles the volume. Where the white version balances contrast with calm, this one sinks into the shadows. Fully black, oversized, and quiet at first glance, until you turn. Then the energy shifts. A parade of skeletons dances across the back. Above them, NO REST cuts through the silence. Below them, the words: The party doesn’t stop, even after death.
This isn’t about edge for the sake of it. It’s about presence. Wearing the Hell of a Time Black Tee is a silent nod to the restlessness inside. The refusal to give in to stillness. This piece is part of our Manifest Collection, a series of garments built around inner conflict and movement that never ends.
Printed on heavyweight Turkish cotton and cut oversized for breathing room, this shirt doesn’t need to explain itself. It just exists, dark, unbothered and deeply intentional.
Manifest Collection Energy
This tee lives inside the Manifest Collection, a project that began with a single idea: tension. Between energy and exhaustion. Between silence and sound. The Hell of a Time Black Tee stands as one of the most visual interpretations of this mindset. Not loud in volume, but undeniable in presence.
You can explore the full mindset behind this design through our blog article LEVEL UP: A NEW CHAPTER FOR MUDGUARD. The piece outlines where we came from, what pushed us forward, and how this shirt carries part of that tension. Mudguard doesn’t create pieces just to wear. We create pieces that carry weight.

Designed for Contrast
Pair the Hell of a Time Black Tee with its contrasting sibling: the Hell of a Time White Tee. The print remains the same. The attitude shifts. Together, they become a reflection of duality, light versus dark, rest versus unrest. Each tee can stand on its own, but they carry more weight when seen as part of the same story.
We recommend wearing it oversized, with worn denim or layered under your favorite jacket. Whether you’re standing in a crowd or walking alone at night, this piece blends in just enough to stand out.
