Brown Skull Ski Mask — One-of-a-kind Nº 2
Brown knit ski mask embroidered as a skull: red-rimmed mouth, white teeth, stitched scars. HOODLUMROUGE one-of-a-kind Nº 2.
▮ UNAVAILABLE
The piece
Nº 2 starts from a brown knit balaclava that the embroidery turns into a skull. The lower face is taken up by a large mouth outlined in thick red thread, filled with white teeth made of small blocks of tight stitches, every one a different size.
On one side, a thick red line runs from the forehead down to the cheek, like a stitched-up scar. Other, shorter red stitches are scattered below the mouth, and a few threads are left loose on the surface of the knit. The eyes stay in the shadow of the two openings.
The phrase that goes with it mixes French and Esperanto: the scar embroidered on the ski mask echoes it.
Some views are shown under color filters (red, blue, magenta, black and white): it's the same piece, photographed differently. Its real color is given in the specs.
The phrase
« Tout me fait rire. Kiu elektas liberecon, portas cikatrojn. »
“Tout me fait rire” (French): everything makes me laugh. “Kiu elektas liberecon, portas cikatrojn” (Esperanto): whoever chooses freedom bears scars.

The story of the piece
This piece belongs to the brand's creator. The goal was to make a simple ski mask, but one heavy with meaning. Like the brand and its creator, it draws on the world of pirates, and stands for a taste for freedom, adventure and exploration.
Order a piece in this spirit
This ski mask is one-of-a-kind: it will never be made again exactly the same. But it can be the starting point for your own piece — a different knit color, a different design, your name or your phrase embroidered on it. Booking an appointment is mandatory; making the piece then takes about 1 month.

Size and care
Measurements (head circumference above all) take two minutes with a tape measure: see the size guide. Embroidered knit is washed by hand, in cold water, without rubbing the embroidery, and dried flat: see the care guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is every ski mask one-of-a-kind?
Yes. Every HOODLUMROUGE ski mask is numbered, embroidered and illustrated by hand for one person only. A piece is never reproduced exactly the same.
Can I buy a ski mask from the collection?
All the pieces in the collection are sold: they stay online as an archive. To get one, you order a new piece in the same spirit — never a copy.
How do I order a custom ski mask?
Write through the contact page to book an appointment: booking is mandatory before any piece is made. The whole process is laid out on the custom order page.
How long does it take to make a ski mask?
About 1 month of work after the appointment.
What are the ski masks made of?
The current pieces combine orlon, acrylic, cotton and silk. Some come with a box made of cardboard, wax, watercolor ink and silver.
How do I choose the right size?
Head circumference is the main measurement; the rest is discussed at the appointment. The size guide explains how to take them.
How do I wash an embroidered ski mask?
By hand, in cold water, without rubbing the embroidery, then dry it flat. Every step is on the care guide page.
