How to measure
Lay a tee you already own flat. Length runs collar seam to hem. Width is armpit to armpit. Sleeve goes shoulder seam to cuff. Match those to the chart. Between two sizes, size up for room.
Care
Machine wash cold, max 30°C / 86°F. Non-chlorine bleach only when needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron. Do not dry-clean.
Good to know
Specially spun fibres create a strong, smooth surface that prints clean. Cut tubular-knit in one piece with no side seams, it holds its shape and cuts fabric waste. The ribbed collar is seamless and highly elastic, keeping its shape wash after wash. Twill tape over the shoulder seams stabilizes the back and prevents stretching. Printed Direct-to-Garment on 5.3 oz 100% US cotton, true black. Ethically grown cotton under the US Cotton Trust Protocol, Oeko-Tex certified.
Falardeau and Poulin built him in the wake of the 1980 referendum as a caricature of the colonised mind, a Québécois man so thoroughly sold on America that he can no longer locate himself. He performs as Elvis in a rented suit and calls it making it. It was meant as satire and landed as prophecy, which is the usual fate of satire that is too accurate. He became one of the most recognised characters in Quebec cinema. Everyone knew somebody. For people who got the joke and then stopped laughing. Falardeau built him to be despised, and Quebec adopted him instead.
An Elvis Gratton graphic tee for Québécois film fans, satire readers, and anyone who has watched a culture perform somebody else's. The pompadour, the jowls and the rhinestone-studded collar, over a signature-style wordmark. A gift for Quebec cinema fans, Montrealers, and students of borrowed identity.
