+shirt

Don’t you just hate it when you’ve pulled on your T-shirt only to find out it’s on backwards?

This top, the +shirt, can be donned in any direction. Formed like the plus sign, it has no front or back, no up or down, but four identical “sleeves” to be used for the neck, arms and torso. The elastic fabric (stretch cotton or microfiber) means it conforms to any part of the upper body, making you look good, coming or going.

Now, when you dress in the morning, your sleepy head only has to concentrate on the orientation of your pants.

       It makes it hard for anything to be printed on the t-shirt, unless it's some random, meaningless design. Still, I love the idea. It could be used to make halfbakery t-shirts with a croissant pattern printed on both sides of the fabric.

       like your plus shirt. started me wondering if you could teach arithmetic with fashion. I didn't get very far though.

       If wearing clothes was that easy then I guess everyone would do it. +

       Pericles, you could print a "+" on it.   

       Or a swastika, if "+" is too meaningless for you.

       By the way, what is it with the [FJ] churnage all of a sudden, are we having a nostalgia week or have I missed something?

       His abrupt departure, over creative differences with the bakesperson, are what has rekindled his ideas, renewed our respect for his body of work, and reminded me of why I used to enjoy hanging out here.

       [DesertFox] look at the 4th line from the bottom of [FarmerJohn]'s profile page for his email. and thanks.

       I was about to re-halfbake this excellent idea, but I did the right thing and searched first. [+]

       That happens a lot with clothes ideas. [FJ] has thought of most of them.
