Eton celebrates 80th anniversary with £23,000 shirt

Swedish shirt makers Eton have a long and proud history of dressing the world in the classiest shirts known to man. So it kinda seems only fair that they should celebrate their 80th anniversary by manufacturing what is being called “The World’s Most Expensive Shirt”. Created from the most luxuriant Egyptian cotton yarn, the celebratory shirt features colored diamond studs and white diamond-encrusted cufflinks which look rather dull and boring considering how the shirt comes with a price tag of a whopping £23,000 (appx. US $44,740. For that kinda cash, I don’t really blame people for wanting the garment to do more them, like acting as an invisibility cloak or maybe even a time-travel device or something! But this one-off piece isn’t aimed at being a complete rip-off since the company plans to auction the thing for charity after it does a promotional tour of Eton stores across the world including outlets at Milan, LA and Stockholm so you might just have the chance to see for yourself what a shirt that retails for a good quarter of a million pounds looks like.
