I was browsing the net for more cool tees and came across the gloriously typographic d.i.e Rockabilly Vampire T-Shirt but realised it was sold out and so I kept on looking until I found this monstrosity…

Rochambeau Deconstructed Drape T-Shirt

Is This a T-Shirt?

Asides from the model looking like he’s been on a hunger strike for some political cause or other, I can’t get over the extortionate price of a whacking great £189 for this measly t-shirt. What’s more I have owned similar shirts to this before, albeit by accident, and thought some of you would like to know how to save a small fortune. For those who are aware we’re still in the midst of a worldwide recession here’s a handy list of alternatives to buying this classic blunder in t-shirt design.

1. Find your least favourite t-shirt, put it on, now try and stretch it over your knees and use your elbows to ruin the sleeves. Next look for a temporary job at a local factory and volunteer to operate the most dangerous machine on the shop floor, then let your shirt dangle precariously over fast moving mechanical parts until it gets caught in a series of large cogs. Now tug hard.
2. Cover your shirt with dog food and feed it to your dog. Failing that wrap your meat-infused shirt around a long stick, wait till nightfall and then find the nearest fenced compound complete with guard dogs and rub it against the security barrier until they start taking chunks out it.
3. Find a weaver, someone with their own loom, ask them to make you a handmade t-shirt and then begin snipping threads in the weave as they work. If they protest pour plenty of whisky in their tea.
4. Tie your t-shirt to the back of a motorbike or cycle and drag it around for ten minutes.
5. Attempt to make a tent from your t-shirt, preferably in a muddy field by the portable toilets. If you manage to sit up in it the shirt is ready.
6. Study at fashion school. Take too many drugs. Design your own awful arty shirt and sell it for £189 a shot.

There are probably plenty of other ways but you get the idea

Funnily enough they only have large and XL sizes left, not sure if that means they’ve actually sold out of small and medium sizes or that this one only comes in ginormous…
