Men's t-shirt

This men's puffin t-shirt goes on without a second thought: on your chest you carry Alek, a puffin in a denim vest and striped sweater, from my Animal Kinhood series. A quiet northern critter, for everyday wear.

The real species

Atlantic puffin.

Fratercula arctica

The lights of my town send the pufflings off course. A cardboard box fixes it.

Open North Atlantic sea during the non-breeding months, where it lives as a solitary pelagic far from any coast; in summer, coastal cliffs with diggable soil for breeding, mainly in Iceland (60% of the world population) and in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago, where the Heimaey colony holds around 830,000 pairs, the largest in the world.

A Cardboard Box in August

Alek grew up in Heimaey, the island where in August baby puffins leave their burrow for the first time and the village lights confuse them. Kids go out at night to collect them in cardboard boxes, weigh them, and return them to the sea from the cliff at dawn. He did it every August from age eight on, never celebrating a single rescue, never skipping a night. It never seemed like a feat to him; it was just what you did, like setting the table. The t-shirt carries that quiet face of someone who cares without talking about it.

An Everyday Puffin

The portrait is front-on with no background: on a t-shirt it reads at a glance. He's a calm critter, the kind you warm to right away, no fuss about him. Good for everyday wear, for work or for going out. If you like this puffin, his whole story is available separately, and there are more Animal Kinhood t-shirts with other characters from the same family.

§ 07What people ask.08 · about POD
  • Each product is made to order when you place your purchase. There is no pre-made stock or overproduction. A specialised production partner prints, cuts, and prepares it specifically for you.
  • It depends on two things: which piece it is and where it goes. Posters, the mug, the tote and the backpack ship from Europe: 4-7 business days to Europe, 2-4 to the UK, 2-6 to the USA and Canada, 6-22 to the rest of the world. T-shirts and the sweatshirt are made in the United States, so they take considerably longer to reach Europe: 9-25 business days, 7-10 to the UK, 4-10 to the USA and Canada, 5-17 to the rest of the world. Every figure already includes making the piece, since each one is produced when you order it. You will see the exact date for your shipment at checkout.
  • Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com with your order number and clear photos of the damage (include packaging). We will review your case and offer a solution as soon as possible, either replacement or refund.
  • Check the size guide in each product tab. Measure a t-shirt that fits you well and compare with the length and width measurements. The t-shirts have a regular fit, neither slim nor oversized.
  • Animal Kinhood is a series of anthropomorphic animal portraits created by Yago Partal. Each portrait features a real species dressed in clothing that reflects its personality, blending photography, illustration, and artificial intelligence.
  • The t-shirts are 96% cotton and 4% elastane, weighing 189 g/m2. The fabric is soft with a smooth surface, ideal for all-over printing. They are pilling-resistant and colourfast after washing.
  • Men's t-shirts range from XS to 5XL. Women's, kids', and youth sizes have specific ranges. Check the size guide on each product page for exact measurements in cm and inches.
  • Yes. You have 14 calendar days to withdraw, with no need to give a reason (TRLGDCU arts. 102-108). Return the product unused and in its original condition; return shipping is at your expense and any loss of value from handling beyond inspection is deducted (art. 108.2). Your statutory guarantee of conformity also remains fully in force: any product arriving damaged or with a defect is replaced or refunded at no cost. Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com.
