FAQ – Metropolitan Museum of Art New York shirt

Is this official museum merchandise? This is a cultural tribute design. The Metropolitan Museum of Art shirt is created by independent designers to celebrate the institution and its significance to New York City; it is not sold by the museum gift shop.

Is the white shirt see-through? No, we use a 5.3 oz sturdy knit cotton. This fabric weight ensures that the Metropolitan Museum of Art shirt is opaque and has a substantial, high-quality feel compared to thinner tees.

Does the print fade? The fabric is chosen specifically for “excellent print retention.” We use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) technology, which bonds the ink to the fibers of the Metropolitan Museum of Art shirt, ensuring the design stays sharp after multiple washes.
