It's like the burnout look combined with the zombie look and an exorbitant price tag. :lulz:
If anyone wants to make their own burnout shirts (and I have to admit I really like them because they're so thin they fit very pleasingly) you can soak a regular cotton/poly 50/50 shirt in a sodium metasulfite solution. I haven't tried it yet but I was thinking of trying it this afternoon, if I can find my stump remover and a couple cheap T-shirts.
though to be fair, if you look at the zoom pics, at least it seems they stitched the edges of the torn bits.
what's a stump remover?

It's sodium metasulfite... comes cheap in a tin at the hardware store and is meant to rot out dead tree stumps. It eats away the cotton in the T-shirt, leaving a polyester "skeleton". You end up with a very, very soft and thin T-shirt.
sounds interesting!

I've got one soaking right now... I'll let you know how it turns out! I have no idea how long to soak it for.
ETA: Well, I have SOME idea, based on how long you're supposed to leave this stuff on a stump, which is 4-6 weeks. Basically I'm going to check it every few days until it looks "done". If this one works well, I'm going to do a whole bucket full of different colors.
Hm I would also just try soaking one for just a night .. A treestump is a lot harder, I think. Also you know what happens when you get bleach on clothes, right? Sometimes the holes fall in weeks or years later.
I'll probably check it in the morning. I'm not very concerned about over-soaking it, though, because it dissolves the lignin in the cotton and doesn't affect the polyester fibers, which is why you have to start with a 50/50 T-shirt.
It seems like a very passive process. You put the shirt in the bucket, walk away, and eventually come back & throw it in the washer.
I'm really hoping it will work; I have one burnout T and love it.
Now you all know why I've gone into fashion.

Just you wait until $300 jeans get my names scrolled across your ass.

Ahh yes, that looks like a vintage Hanes Olive T-Shirt, aged on a 1956 Homeless Vietnam Veteran. That's a steal!
