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.

Artistic provenance

Original studio screenprint from Montreal art collective, not a licensed design.

Why this is supported

The t‑shirt's design originates from DOMREBEL's studio works; as noted,

DOMREBEL stands out as a unique and influential Montreal-based art collective and atelier.kindmagazine.ca

The brand transposes

Their work transposes the ever-evolving collective’s works in painting, sculpture, cartoon and comic drawing into a ready-to-wear mediumkindmagazine.ca

The shirt specifically features

Featuring screenprinted artworks on front and back of original studio artworks.domrebel.com

These points confirm that the tee is not a licensed mass‑market graphic but a direct reproduction of original studio art from a working collective.

Fabric

Custom ringspun 100% cotton jersey made exclusively in Canada for DOMREBEL.

Why this is supported

Catalog verified the fabric claim through the brand's own site, stating:

DOMREBEL mainline t-shirts are made in Canada from our own custom ringspun cotton jerseydomrebel.com

The 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.net

This 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 teesThe significance of DOMREBEL's Canadian manufacturing — custom_ringspun_cotton_jersey

. This construction also makes the tee well-suited for layering over long sleeves or under jackets without excess bulk.

Original studio art

Front and back graphics are direct screenprints of original hand-drawn DOMREBEL studio artworks.

Why this is supported

DOMREBEL states the front and back graphics are screenprinted from original studio artworks:

Featuring screenprinted artworks on front and back of original studio artworks.domrebel.com

Independent source Kind Magazine describes DOMREBEL as an art collective and atelier:

DOMREBEL stands out as a unique and influential Montreal-based art collective and atelier.kindmagazine.ca

The magazine also notes the collective’s work transposes its fine art into ready-to-wear:

Their work transposes the ever-evolving collective’s works in painting, sculpture, cartoon and comic drawing into a ready-to-wear mediumkindmagazine.ca

The off-white color (where available), distressed finish, back sketches, and original character are thus all consistent with a studio piece.

Print longevity

Inside-out cold-water washing preserves screenprint for 20+ extra washes.

Why this is supported

An apparel care study found that washing inside-out in cold water outperforms hot water right‑side out by 20+ washes:

A shirt washed inside-out in cold water consistently outperforms one tossed in hot water right-side out, often by 20 or more washes before visible degradation appears.drtees.net

This practice is recommended for preserving the hand‑printed artwork on this tee.

Entry-level pricing

CAD 225 is entry-level for DOMREBEL graphic tees; other designs retail at $369 USD.

Why this is supported

. The brand advises consulting the size chart for exact fit; at CAD 225, accurate sizing is especially important.

Color shade

Off-white color appears as a soft cream with warm undertones, not a bright white.

Why this is supported

The Q&A on the product page describes the off-white color:

The color is listed as 'Off White', which typically appears as a soft cream rather than a bright, stark white. In photos, it leans warm and slightly muted.Is the off-white color more of a cream or a pure white in person? Could you describe the shade?

This confirms that the in-person shade is a muted cream, not a stark white.
