The Armpit Shirt

What is this woman wearing?

If you guessed a shirt made of various cutouts of armpit stains, then you are absolutely correct!

The Armpit Shirt is a polo shirt made entirely from armpit stains collected by the kind people at the Manhattan Salvation Army. The stains were collected over a ten-day period by clothing sorters, and represent the thickest, pastiest, crustiest armpit stains that the working classes of New York have to offer. The actual armpit area of the shirt has been augmented with patches from a brand new Hanes T-shirt, so that the wearer can add their own armpit stain to this tapestry of labor.

Wow, how nasty is that?

There’s no further information behind the Armpit Shirt, so I don’t know if it was for a student project or if somebody from the Manhattan Salvation Army was just bored. Either way, it is what it is…
