Shawn and Sam Esteghbal,the Iranian brothers behind the boutique that sells the shirt in Los Angeles said they decided to use the drug lord in their advertising after he was photographed wearing one of their shirts in Rolling Stone photographs of El Chapo's meeting with actor Sean Penn prior to his being recaptured.
"MOST WANTED SHIRT," the garment is now labeled on their website. UPI News reported.
"It's not about that he's an international criminal," Shawn Esteghbal told the Guardian.

"But we're excited because he could buy anything, he could buy Versace, any other brand, but to choose our brand, our designs!"
The brothers said it wasn't clear what attracted Guzman to their cheap shirt.
"He could wear a $10,000 shirt or a $3,000 shirt, but he wears Barabas," Sam Esteghbal told CNN.
Shawn Esteghbal added that "sales are skyrocketing" since the pictures went public.
"We cannot keep them in stock, and we have a lot of demand from all over," he said.
