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.

Deep Research
What to expect from Djab, Simons’ in-house brand
- Djab's product narrative explicitly marries retro aesthetics with modern sensibility, a through-line visible across its graphic tees—including the St-Viateur bagel shirt—that positions the brand as a maker of conversation-starting statement pieces rather than plain basics.
- Djab's design approach explicitly targets cross-mode dressing—the brand's own language frames its tees as easily complementing streetwear or casual looks—and the St-Viateur tee's straightforward graphic and regular fit slot seamlessly into that versatile ethos.
How the bagel graphic is printed and how it ages
- Cotton jersey's absorbent fibers create a strong mechanical bond with print inks, anchoring the graphic into the fabric rather than merely sitting on top — the print is more resilient to cracking and peeling than typical heat transfers on synthetic blends.

Satisfaite
Difficile à trouver ce t-shirt même au Bagel St-Viateur. Ils ont changé le modèle. Donc ce t-shirt est devenu vintage !
Good quality
Nice thick fabric. Design is as pictured.
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.

Great
Bagel shirt
Loved the shirt from a Montreal staple
Cute tshirt
The fabric feels good, the design is cute, very Canadian.
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.
Perfect
Fits great,well made,another great purchase
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
Q&A
4 answered- How does the regular fit of this t-shirt compare to other brands? Is it true to size or should we size up/down?
- This t-shirt has a regular fit, which typically means a classic, slightly roomy cut that should be true to size. For reference, similar Djab tees have chest measurements of 39-42 inches for a medium [9]. If you prefer a slimmer look, consider sizing down; for an oversized feel, size up.
- Does the 100% cotton jersey shrink significantly after washing? Are there any pre-shrinking treatments?
- As a 100% cotton jersey without any pre-shrunk label, this t-shirt will likely shrink 3–8% in length on the first few washes if washed in warm or hot water [11]. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low.
- What is the approximate weight of the cotton jersey (e.g., gsm)? I want to understand how lightweight it is.
- While the exact GSM is not listed, 'lightweight' 100% cotton jersey typically falls in the 150–180 GSM range [6]. This places it on the lighter end, suitable for warm weather and layering.
- For the white variant, is the fabric thick enough that the print design does not show through from the front?
- Because this is a lightweight cotton jersey (typically 150–180 GSM) and white, there is a possibility that a darker print may show through slightly from the front on a white base [6]. However, the print is likely screen-printed with opaque ink, which typically reduces show-through. For best results, check the fabric thickness upon receipt.
