A nice t-shirt mod from the folks at Hurley -- the rip-skull. I don't expect it would survive a lot of washings, though.

DIY SKULL T-SHIRT (via Crazy Abalone)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Does the other side of the shirt have the same rips too!

  • Donald Petersen

    My back isn’t so photogenic as the model’s, but I’d totally wear this.

    Think I’ll make me one.  I know the adage that if you’re old enough to have worn a thing the first time it was en vogue you’re too old to wear it the next time, but I don’t give a shahitt.  I liked shredded tees 25 years ago, and I’m happy to welcome them back.

    Oh, all right, I’ll wear a black one underneath.  You can open your eyes again.

    Imagine if she was not wearing it backwards. A skull with bugged out eyes.

  • theophrastvs

    is it (merely) “ripped” if it’s actually missing bits?  perhaps it should be cut-out skull tee (or ‘COST’) … anyway apply any and all jack-o-lantern stencils (laser cut!) and sell ‘em to all those that want suntans to match.

    There’s a fine line between “mod” and “trash.”

    Can’t really wear it with a bra though

    • Donald Petersen

      Sure you can, if it’s a pretty one in a contrasting color.

      But should you?

    • peteywheats

      This one from the Residents could be interesting:

         She has nice eyes…

    I’m fully aware that correlation is not causation, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of this blog post I read a while back that is exactly the same thing: http://imkittyrouge.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/12-how-to-make-cut-out-t-shirt.html
