$19.00
just enough shredding to make your basic white tee look a little more interesting and a lot more stylish!

this is a men's size small fruit of the loom tee. it has not been washed so there may be a tad of shrinkage although i would suggest laying it flat to dry, as it might continue to shred with washing and drying.

i cut the neckline to be more of a scoop neck.

i would say it a roomy medium in women's.
