An article of clothing comprising:
- a first panel having a front surface and a back surface;
- a second panel having a front surface and a back surface;
- and
- a third panel having a front surface and a back surface,
- wherein each panel is substantially identical in size to the other panels and wherein each of the panels is defined by a neck-opening edge, a pair of arm opening edges, and a torso-opening edge, the edges of each panel being substantially identical in size to the edges of the other panels,
- wherein all three panels are connected by a first seam intermediate the neck-opening edge and an upper end of one of the pair of arm opening edges and by a second seam intermediate the neck-opening edge and the upper end of the other of the pair of arm opening edges,
- wherein all of the three panels are additionally connected together at a location proximate a first end of the torso-opening edge, a location proximate a second end of the torso-opening edge, a location proximate a lower end of one of the pair of arm opening edges, and a location proximate a lower end of the other of the pair of arm opening edges, and
- wherein the connected panels form a shirt having a front side and a back side, the shirt configurable between three orientations, each orientation presenting a front surface of one of the panels and a back surface of another of the panels, wherein the presenting front surface and back surface form either the front and back side, respectively, of the shirt or the back and front side, respectively, of the shirt.
