Yes, the shirt is real. There is exactly one, with Max’s stylized face on the back and SoBeMax.com underneath, and that is the entire collection. It does not rise to the level of couture. I wear it anyway, most days, walking around South Beach with Max, and I have noticed that people look at the shirt, then at the dog, then back at the shirt. That is the whole marketing plan. If you’d like to be the second person wearing it, it’s in the store.
