It looks like it took somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 shirts to make. Considering the price even of old shirts, plus how fiddly sewing a bunch of small pockets together would be compared to sewing a shirt with normal fabric, I don’t even want to imagine how much it would cost to buy this 🫣 Assuming fair labor prices and time investment similar to quilting, that’s probably hundreds of dollars minimum.
For this specific one where every single panel is a pocket, I was willing to spend $100 easy on it. Tho anything more than that and it’d have to be a real treat. But I’m picturing it for concerts and music festivals. Easy to hide something in a pocket when it’s Oops All Pockets™
Carhartt is expensive. For good reason mostly because they make high quality clothing. Now they’re a symbol of working class pride, so because capitalism nthey make low quality expensive shit too with the logo on it.
Tried to find this to buy this. Disappointed I couldn’t find it

There’s a thrift shop near me that sells shorts for ¢50, I would totally make this.
It’s totally doable (obviously, since someone already did it!), it’s just waaay more piecing than I would want to do for novelty wear, haha.
