Humorously, Chris fails to realise that $25,100 is a gross overestimate of how much money would be required to repair a piece of clothing, even those affected by water damage.

Chris wearing 'The Classic' in 2007.

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.

The Classic, after being excavated from bags of hoard, still wet from the water firefighters used to combat the fire three years prior.
Actually, that shirt was Not totally lost in that fire; to my recollection, it was in a mountain pile of laundry in the laundry room. So, more accurately, it was in one of the black bags down here. I have just dug through the dirty half of those bags, more than ten or twenty of them. Then, in a bag of damp ones, I found the shirt. I took a photo; part of the selling amount will go to better restoring the shirt; I am personally putting it through a page or two in my washer and dryer. Only after sale of the relic, I will be able to afford having it restored to its glory, and I will frame it and add a personal Certificate of Authenticity, before shipping it. Thank you.
The same shirt after being washed. The holes and other damages allegedly will be fixed using the funds raised from the sale, according to Chris.
