Product Insights
DOMREBEL's 'Will You Be My Rat' T-shirt is an original studio screenprint from a Montreal art collective, printed on custom ringspun 100% cotton jersey made exclusively in Canada. The front and back graphics are direct reproductions of hand-drawn studio artworks, with print longevity extended by cold-water washing. Priced at CAD 225, it is entry-level for DOMREBEL graphic tees, using the same jersey as $369 USD styles. The main tradeoff: size Large in relaxed fit fits like a standard XL, and the off-white color is a soft cream with warm undertones, not a bright white.

domrebel.comThe fact‑sheet confirms the main material is 100% cotton, consistent with this exclusive jersey.
DOMREBEL specifies that this tee is cut from its own custom ringspun cotton jersey made in Canada:
An independent printing resource confirms that pure cotton is the optimal substrate for screenprinting:
100% cotton is the most reliable fabric for screen printing because it accepts ink cleanly and holds up to repeated washing without degrading the print.
drtees.netThis ensures the print bonds cleanly and resists degradation.
The brand describes its thick 100% custom ringspun cotton jersey as giving the relaxed cut a substantial drape that reduces the baggy feel typical of oversized tees. As noted,
the custom material gives the shirt a distinct texture and weight that separates it from standard graphic tees
