DESCRIPTION

Power. Art. The most expensive banana - right on your chest.

In 2024, a banana duct-taped to a gallery wall sold for $6.2 million. That’s not satire, it’s modern art. We loved the absurdity, the symbolism, and the dead-serious delivery. So we stitched it onto a tee and let the punchline speak for itself.

Made from 100% Peruvian Pima cotton - widely regarded as the finest cotton in the world - this tee feels ridiculously soft from day one. The slub knit adds a lightweight, breathable texture that keeps things cool and wears even better over time. Garment-dyed for rich, lived-in color and finished with a clean chest pocket, tonal woven labels, and reinforced neck taping. A shirt that looks simple but says everything.

Features:
  • FIT: Premium Casual Fit is relaxed through the waist and hips with slightly tapered sleeves for a casual/modern fit.

  • 100% Premium Peruvian Pima Cotton Slub – Exceptionally soft, lightweight, and breathable

  • Custom Embroidery – Inspired by the $6.2M modern art piece, stitched with purpose

  • MisAdventure Worn In Wash – Rich color with a worn-in feel from day one

  • Chest Pocket with Tonal Stitching – Clean structure with just the right visual balance

  • Reinforced Neck Taping – Built for durability and comfort

  • Classic Modern Fit – Choose your regular size - Not too tight, not too loose

  • Tonal Woven Neck & Hip Labels – Subtle Baja Llama finishing details

  • Designed in California, Made in Peru – Globally inspired, quality crafted.

Will the rich color of this tee fade quickly after washing?
The tee is garment-dyed with a MisAdventure Worn In Wash that gives it a rich, lived-in color from day one. This process enhances color retention while offering a soft, broken-in feel.

How should I care for this embroidered Pima cotton tee to maintain its quality?
Machine wash the tee cold inside out with like colors to protect the embroidery and fabric. Tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinkage and preserve softness.
