Ack! We've been underpricing our T-shirts over at the NeatoShop! Choire
Sicha of The Awl has discovered the most expensive T-shirt for sale in
New York City: a crocodile skin T-shirt in the Hermès men's store
on Madison Avenue, listed for $91,500.
This t-shirt, to be fair, is made out of crocodile, hence its price.
Literally, the entire shirt is just luxurious, beautifully sewn swaths
of crocodile. This makes it possibly rather uncomfortable, and perhaps
a little heavy, for a t-shirt. Seems like you might feel a little clammy
in it? Also kind of awkward to just have everyone stare at your shirt.
("Is that strange rich man wearing a crocodile???)
Forgive me for not having pictures of the t-shirt itself; photographs
are forbidden at the Hermès store, most probably as an anti-knockoff
policy, or possibly to keep secret the fact that there are t-shirts
that cost MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR ACTUALLY QUITE DECENT CARS.
And what does a $91,500 crocodile leather t-shirt look like? The Daily
Mail
has
the pic. I'll wait till it goes on sale at Costco!
