If you've ever wanted to dress like Mark Zuckerberg now you can thanks to the Zuckerberg Shirt. Klaus Buchroithner of Vresh Clothing has created a replica grey shirt designed to be as close to the real deal as possible. Zuckerberg's closet is famously filled with grey t-shirts, but each of those is custom made in Italy and costs hundreds of dollars. The Zuckerberg Shirt is made from 100 percent cotton and handmade in Italy. It even comes with an eight-year warranty.
Like the real thing, the replica Zuckerberg Shirt isn't cheap. It sells for about $48 which is expensive for a single shirt, but much cheaper than what Facebook's CEO pays for his t-shirts. The good news is that Vresh Clothing is donating all the proceeds from the Zuckerberg Shirt to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
