Day 63



Here is a Fenchurch T-shirt.
It is not white.
The logo is not khaki green.
It is khaki green.
The logo is white.

It was given to me as a leaving gift a few years back along with another tee.
The concept is that you wear both tees at the same time, one under the other, with the sleeves of the inner one rolled back on themselves over the sleeves of the outer one a little way.
I rarely wear the duo like this, partly because I’m a warm individual and double layering on a sunny day reduces me to a sweaty, angry mess. I’m also not a fan of the whole sleeve mechanic – each day that I've tried it I’ve been very ‘aware’ that I have strange sleeves working in harmony to look unorthodox and desperately unravel. It just isn't for me.

But my reasoning today for separating the twosome is that sourcing 365 T-shirts for my challenge’s one-a-day quota is proving tough enough, without wasting days by doubling-up. If the small-print of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE were to simply wear 365 T-shirts in a year, I would have worn them all on New Year’s day and be done with all this madness.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
