Into the Wolf’s Mouth — Hoodie

Description

In bocca al lupo. “Into the wolf’s mouth.” Wishing somebody plain good luck is considered a jinx in Italy, so you send them somewhere far worse instead. The reply — crepi il lupo, may the wolf die — is not optional.

It began among hunters and in the theatre, and it is still what Italians say before an exam, an audition, a surgery or a first day.

Built like an Italian opera poster: dramatic, theatrical, gold lettering and a wolf drawn to be walked into rather than escaped.
