Guzman, who was recaptured last week in Mexico after escaping from a prison last year, was pictured wearing the Barabas shirt in a photo with Penn that accompanied the actor's recent Rolling Stone magazine article about the fugitive.

The company posted on its Facebook page that 'El Chapo' was wearing its shirt. It was reportedly sold out because of the spike in demand following the Rolling Stone story.
