Product Insights

The Will You Be My Rat T-Shirt by DOMREBEL is an original studio art piece disguised as a tee: a hand-finished, front-and-back screenprint from a Montreal art collective, printed on custom ringspun 100% cotton jersey knit and assembled in Canada. Its core promise is art-first, not apparel-first — the distressed, speckled ink and slight per-shirt variation are designed, not defects, and the 225 CAD entry-level price (roughly four times a standard graphic tee) buys that original hand-drawn studio work, not upgraded specs. Domrebel, founded by two Montreal students in 2003 and still independent, trades on rebel lineage, while the relaxed, true-to-size fit sits between S and XL (with XXL available at Japanese stockists) and the cut is roomier than a regular-fit competitor. The main tradeoff is care and commitment: machine heat cracks the print, hanging stretches the collar, and the tee demands cold inside-out washing, air-drying, and folding — all for a deliberately imperfect, handcrafted look that varies piece to piece.

Verified claims

Sizing
True-to-size relaxed tee; full chest spans 112–128 cm from S to XL.
Size range
Listing stocks S–XL only; the same tee reaches XXL at Japanese stockists.
Fit comparison
Cut is relaxed, while the Psycho Bunny Caspian tee is regular fit with standard length.
Fabric
Custom ringspun 100% cotton jersey made exclusively in Canada for DOMREBEL.
Print longevity
Wash inside-out cold and fold; machine heat cracks the print.
Artistic provenance
Original studio screenprint from Montreal art collective, not a licensed design.
Print method
Traditional screen printing on cotton — not sublimation — leaves the ink firm and textured when new.
Care
Wash inside out in cold water and air-dry; heat cracks the print and shrinks the cotton.
Storage
Store by folding rather than hanging, so gravity doesn't stretch the collar or press hanger creases into the ink.
Print finish
The distressed, speckled look is designed from day one and hand-finished details vary shirt to shirt.
Made in Canada
Knit and assembly are Canadian, per independent retail listing; cotton and dyeing origins aren't covered
Handcrafted finish
Handcrafted pieces show slight unit-to-unit variations by design, not by defect
Price positioning
At $165 USD it costs about $120 more than the $40–45 Tetramode performance tees
Independent origins
Two Montreal students founded DOMREBEL in 2003 with $350 and no fashion background; it remains founder-owned.
Name origin
DOMREBEL comes from Latin words Dominus Rebellis, meaning Master of Rebellion.
Entry-level pricing
225 CAD is entry-level for DOMREBEL; the premium over $40-45 tees buys original studio art, not upgraded specs.
Worn finish
Worn, speckled screenprint is a deliberate studio finish; each tee varies slightly.
Value
At $165 USD (225 CAD at Simons), roughly four times a $40–45 graphic tee.
Per-piece variation
Every tee is hand-finished, so print placement and distressing vary slightly from piece to piece.
Original studio art
Front and back graphics are direct screenprints of original hand-drawn DOMREBEL studio artworks.
Graphic lineage
The mouse design is part of a DOMREBEL pattern of cartoon makeovers, including a Looney Tunes character as a skeleton.
Artwork finish
The faded, speckled ink and slight per-shirt variation are DOMREBEL's intentional hand-finished style.
Print design
Original screenprints cover front and back; the Caspian carries one tactile raised bunny logo.
Options
All four variants are the same Off White colorway; choosing one is purely a size decision.
