The Classic is a red and blue rugby shirt formerly worn by Chris from an unknown time before his discovery by the internet to when he became a Tomgirl, and it was seemingly lost in 2014 to the Destruction of Chris's House.
It had survived at the bottom of a soaked and grimy garbage bag full of clothing. Prompted by the Financhu Crisis, Chris went searching for it in April 2017, hoping to sell it to a fan.
