Black ski mask embroidered with a big white skull, SK and AGVG lettering, stitched red cross. HOODLUMROUGE Nº 3, with its box, for Sk Error 404.
▮ SOLD — Owner : Sk Error 404
The piece
Nº 3 is a black rib-knit balaclava. The whole lower face is covered by a large skull motif embroidered in white thread, in thick, irregular stitches: two big round eyes, points like horns or ears, and a jaw with neatly lined-up teeth.
Above, on the forehead and around the eyes, white letters are sewn freehand: SK on one side, AGVG on the other. A red cross, made of several stacked stitches, slashes across one eye like a scar. The other side of the ski mask speaks the same language, with more white letters and small red crosses.
The piece was made for Sk Error 404. It comes with its box: a cardboard window box covered in small drawn skulls, which lets the embroidered design show through.
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 story of the piece
Unlike the others, this piece started as an existing ski mask that was brought in. The HOODLUMROUGE touch came through the embroidery. It's a customization inspired by piracy, and more specifically by the character Captain Harlock, while keeping the lettering linked to the artist SK.
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.
