[wondering]

That's quite a bit of money just for a shirt.

Wow... That is a lot of money. Would everyday people buy it????

[DemonDream]

Probably not. I know I wouldn't buy that thing unless I had millions to burn. Ever time I wore it, I would be running the risk of spilling something on it and ruining the shirt.
