Gentleman's Rest Tee
A Gentleman's Rest was once used primarily in the Victorian era when clothing was thicker and heavier. As a Gentleman went about his business, he would find that his more intimate areas would become sweaty. To avoid chaffing and sweat rash, a Gentleman would go to the 'airing cupboard' (which was a small well ventilated room within the house) to make use of his 'Gentleman's Rest' which consisted of a long stick, atop of which was a decorated shelf. In America they used to refer to this room as the 'Rest Room' and is where the modern day term originates. The Gentleman would remove his little Gentleman from his garments and rest himself upon this shelf to air himself out and naturally dry away the sweat. Common decorations for the 'shelf' include Mermaids, Ophelia's arm, a slender female leg and Persephone's pony-tail. Though popular at the time, only a known handful have survived to this day and are highly collectible in the art world and is commonly confused in its appearance with that of the common walking stick. The earliest known example dates back to 1874 and whilst it is in poor condition it is still a beautiful piece.

Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
Smooth transaction and nice product, shipping was quick!

gooderesting the gooderesting thing ever made
Got it for a friend! He loved it
Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
mine says "ass" on it lol
Good Decent, comfortable by all means
My wife bought this for me, my only thing about the shirt, is the big Vernon on the front. I think I would prefer it situated and smaller type as if overva pocket. Other than that I love it. Seems to be of good quality and easy wearability, but I have only tried it on, so am uncertain. Thank you for making my day
shirt made me cum
