At first glance, the 'Ask Me About my T-rex' dinosaur tee may be interpreted as some sort of dirty joke. In this case, however, asking them is definitely worth it as there is a unexpected surprise waiting for you.

Before you can even finish saying t-rex, the shirt can be reversed to make anyone wearing the shirt turn into one of the most feared dinosaurs. The cleverness of this item is that it is both a costume and [t-shirt in one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order) and will guarantee many laughs or shocks depending on who you show it to.

The shirt is available in a variety of different colors and is made from 100% cotton, which guarantees that the dinosaur tee will be a very comfortable and fun tee to sport around town.
