Youth t-shirt

This youth black panther T-shirt carries César, a quiet cat who moves at his own pace, in a portrait I created for my Animal Kinhood series. The reserved one who listens more than he talks.

The real species

Black panther.

Panthera pardus

What looks like an absence of pattern is the pattern itself. Grazing light brings it back to the surface.

The species with the greatest habitat plasticity among the big cats: humid tropical forests in Malaysia and Borneo, African savannas, Caucasus scrubland, Himalayan slopes up to 5,200 m altitude and the peri-urban edges of Mumbai and Nairobi. Melanistic leopards concentrate in tropical forests with dense canopy.

The Friend You Don't Have to Talk To

In his story, the person César really opens up to is Priya, a spectacled langur, a botanist in a nearby forest. They met at a coffee stall at six in the morning, both early risers, both with a book at an hour when almost no one else is awake. They started sharing a table out of habit, and discovered they could spend an hour in silence without a single wasted moment. She talks to him about trees; he teaches her to tell metals apart by the sound they make when you strike them.

For the One Who Goes at Their Own Pace

If you're one of those people who listen more than they talk, or you know someone like that, this T-shirt fits. It doesn't shout anything: a calm cat facing forward, for school, the street, or the weekend, that goes with everything and never gets old. Behind it is a character who chose his own pace and doesn't apologize for it, and at a certain age that's something you learn to appreciate. There's more of César in his biography; here he arrives in everyday form.

§ 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Each portrait combines photography, digital illustration, and AI-generated fragments under Yago's artistic direction: AI supplies intermediate material — references, poses, textures — never the final output. The process includes species research, character design, and detailed manual construction — photomontage, light, color, and illustration — built layer by layer in Photoshop.
  • Open editions (main shop) are on-demand products with no copy limit. Limited editions (the Editions section of the shop) have controlled numbering and premium finishes with gallery-grade materials.
