Product Insights
The St-Viateur Bagel T-Shirt is a discontinued collector's item that evokes Montreal pride and sparks conversations through its nostalgic bagel graphic featuring the founding year 1957. Its durable opaque screen-print resists cracking and matches online photos, but the 100% Gildan cotton jersey is rough and shrinks 3-8% in warm wash, while the boxy, shapeless fit disappoints those seeking a modern silhouette. The value is polarising: the exclusive, vintage graphic and scarcity offset the poor fabric quality. Care requires cold wash and air dry to preserve the fit, and the bold design restricts wear to casual looks. Overall, it is a retro-modern statement piece for collectors willing to accept material limitations.

Casual and streetwear outfitting
A graphic tee for building casual or streetwear looks, with the St-Viateur Bagel branding as the focal point. Reviews describe the fit as a boxy, unisex cut that some shoppers found lacking in shape for a modern, fitted look, and the heavyweight cotton as feeling stiff for all-day wear by those who prefer softer tees.[1,2]

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| St-Viateur Bagel T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a nostalgic Montreal souvenir or gift for bagel lovers — reviewers praise the instantly recognizable, faithfully rendered St-Viateur Bagel emblem, and the white crew-neck tee features a large screen-printed cartoon bagel character with arched ST-VIATEUR BAGEL, MONTRÉAL, and DEPUIS 1957 text. It is a lightweight regular-fit tee in 100% cotton jersey, sized from small to XX-large, that suits casual and streetwear looks. Note that the heavyweight Gildan cotton blank divides customers — some appreciate the thick, sturdy feel while many find it rough and stiff — and the unisex cut can run boxy, so a tailored, fitted look may disappoint.[1,2,3] | Expos Graphic T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a soft, lightweight 100% cotton jersey tee with regular fit and a crew neck for easy everyday wear — one reviewer reports it fits true to size. Choose it for the nostalgic, vintage-looking Montreal Expos chest graphic in distressed red and blue print, which draws positive attention, and it works as a go-to for casual retro outfits, per reviewers. Note that the graphic is front-only with a plain back, and the distressed speckled print effect is intentional rather than a flaw.[4,5,6] | Looney Tunes T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a licensed Looney Tunes graphic tee with a loose, relaxed fit — it's a short-sleeve crew neck in midweight 100% cotton jersey, with a small Running Club logo on the left chest and a large back print featuring a running rabbit character under a Looney Tunes headline. It comes in an off-white Ecru/Linen color in sizes small through x-large, though that shade is the only color listed in this listing's data. Note the smooth, matte cotton shows a soft drape, and the straight hem falls to the upper hips on the model shown, so length may vary on other bodies.[7,8,9] |

Satisfaite
Difficile à trouver ce t-shirt même au Bagel St-Viateur. Ils ont changé le modèle. Donc ce t-shirt est devenu vintage !
???
Great
Good quality
Nice thick fabric. Design is as pictured.
Great print, disappointing shirt quality
This is a great print and I was very excited to gift it, but the shirt itself is a generic, poorer quality Gildan shirt with custom print. I was anticipating something much better quality.
Cute tshirt
The fabric feels good, the design is cute, very Canadian.
Bagel shirt
Loved the shirt from a Montreal staple
Poorly made t-shirt
The shirt was boxy looking and the material was poor quality. I was sad about that since I was excited about the logo.
Cool look, but it’s a Gildan shirt
Quality of shirt is subpar. Screen printed on a Gildan tshirt. Thick and rough material. Will be returning
