Independent Tee Dressen Skull Rose Heavyweight S/S (White) brings classic skate art and raw West Coast attitude together in a timeless, no-frills silhouette that feels right at home on and off the board. The clean white heavyweight cotton body sets the stage for a sharp contrast graphic hit—small, understated chest print up front, then a bold full-back illustration that commands attention. The Skull Rose artwork blends a traditional tattoo-inspired rose with a dagger-pierced skull, rendered in deep reds, greens, and black linework, finished in soft-hand ink that soaks into the fabric for a worn-in feel rather than sitting heavy on top.
Built on a heavyweight 6 oz, 100% cotton blank, this tee has that sturdy, dependable hand feel skaters appreciate—durable enough for repeated sessions and washes, but comfortable enough for everyday wear. The regular fit gives you room through the shoulders and chest without feeling boxy, making it easy to move whether you’re pushing through a long street run or cooling off after a session.
This piece carries the unmistakable stamp of Independent, a brand that’s been Built to Grind since the late ’70s and remains one of the most respected names in skateboarding. Independent’s legacy is rooted in raw, fast, and unapologetic skating—qualities that show through in their apparel just as much as their trucks.
The artwork was created by Eric Dressen, a true pillar of skateboarding culture. Hailing from Huntington Beach, California, Dressen is known for his aggressive pool riding, deep involvement in DIY skate spots, and unmistakable hand-drawn art style. His work bridges classic Southern California skate history with a timeless punk and tattoo aesthetic—perfectly aligned with Independent’s ethos.
Around the San Gabriel Valley, this tee feels right at home—whether you’re rolling through familiar streets, hitting local spots, or just posted up talking skate stories. It’s the kind of shirt you’d see worn naturally around Monrovia, cruising through town, in Claremont after a long day, or anywhere in between where skateboarding is part of daily life, not a trend.
