By Parra What Is This T-Shirt

The By Parra What Is This T-Shirt in White combines the Dutch artist’s signature post-pop aesthetic with a commitment to high-quality garment construction. This short-sleeve essential is produced using a custom-developed 100% cotton jersey that provides a weighted, smooth texture, ensuring it remains a durable staple for daily wear. Because the material undergoes a specialised factory pre-wash, the shirt delivers an immediate lived-in softness while locking in the dimensions to prevent shrinkage after home washing. It functions as a wearable piece of contemporary art, featuring a bold, multi-coloured chest graphic that provides a level of visual character and originality far beyond standard commercial basics.

Our By Parra What Is This T-Shirt FAQs

1. How does the print feel on the fabric?
   The artwork is applied with water-based inks, which results in a much softer and more flexible print that doesn't feel heavy or plastic-like on the chest.

2. Will this white t-shirt shrink in the wash?
   Because By Parra pre-washes their garments during the manufacturing process, most natural cotton shrinkage has already occurred before you receive it.

3. Where is this t-shirt made?
   This garment is produced in Portugal, a region known for high-quality textile manufacturing and fair labour standards.
