Bullet Hole Shirts
Fashion on a Rampage
Attus Apparel thinks that "manufactured" holes in clothing are so yesterday. Instead, they offer the alternative of getting holes in your shirt in a more realistic and dangerous way. They sell bullet-hole polo shirts made the old-fashioned way, with real bullets fired by the guys at Attus Apparel themselves. The shirts only come in red and they run a pretty hefty price tag of $100 each, but your shirt does come with a video "shooting session" that documents how your shirt achieved it's unique bullet holes. Bullet holes as fashion? Or just a bunch of delinquents with firearms? You decide.
