Where to Find Wolf T-Shirts

By Becca McArthur , last updated December 7, 2011

T-shirts with ominous-looking animal prints have always been a way to add a casual fierceness to any outfit, and wolf t-shirts are no exception. Knowing where to find this edgy, rocker-meets-naturalist garment will make shopping for one easier than you ever thought it could be.

Online Boutiques

If you don’t mind shopping online, there are lots of websites that offer a wide range of wolf t-shirts. For example, wolfshop.com offers tees with growling wolf graphics, pictures of adorable baby wolf pups, and a few 80s-inspired tops with wolf faces on purple and blue backgrounds. Tees go for $13 apiece. Everythingwolf.com offers an even wider selection of t-shirts, including ones picturing wolves howling at the moon, wolves in profile or facing the viewer head-on, and even wolves enjoying the summertime, such as the Late Summer Wolf T-Shirt, $19.99, which features a wolf among daisies on a yellow background.

There is no question, however, that the best place to find wolf t-shirts online is at Etsy.com, an online forum where artists can sell their handmade goods or vintage collections. Etsy features wolf tees in sweet colors (turquoise!), feminine shapes (scoop and v-necks!), fresh graphics (wolves in the woods! wolves riding bikes!) usually for no more than $20 or $30. This is the place to look if you’re in search of a really unique tee that will have everyone asking where you got it.

Thrift Stores

Thrift stores are great places to go hunting for one-of-a-kind wolf t-shirts. Although it may take some digging through racks and racks of t-shirts, this style was super-popular a few decades ago, and thus can be found hiding in thrift stores all over the country. Start by browsing the men’s or boy’s t-shirt racks. When you do finally find what you’re looking for, you’ll be rewarded by a price no higher than $5. The web’s biggest online thrift store, eBay, is another great place to find gently used (and sometimes new!) unique wolf t-shirts. Make sure you read the seller’s listing thoroughly, check the t-shirt’s size, and review it’s quality before buying, though, so you can be sure to purchase a worthwhile tee.

Chain Stores

Chain stores, such as Urban Outfitters, Forever21, and American Apparel have picked up on the trend of wolf t-shirts, and do offer some options in their stores and online. The Vintage Minnesota Wolf Threadbare T-Shirt from American Apparel, $24, hits that casual, too-cool-to-be-a-tourist vibe head on. The Silence & Noise Oversize Animal Print Tee from Urban, $29.99, boasts cool wolf graphic over a ruby red moon overlaid on a comfy, dark gray t-shirt with a scoop neck and long hemline. Pair it with leggings for a look that's edgy and effortless.

Your Local Zoo

Not the spot you’d usually go to shop, your local zoo is an unexpected but fun locale at which to find cool wolf t-shirts. Most zoos have a gift shop right near the front of the park, and these shops often carry t-shirts that feature all the different animals you’d find at the zoo, including wolves. The downside to this option is that you may have to pay for a zoo ticket to get into the shop, unless you can do some very serious sweet-talking.
