There are two types of '''shirt''' in [[NetHack]]: the '''T-shirt''' and the '''Hawaiian shirt'''. Both are the innermost piece of [[armor]] and are mostly identical.

A '''T-shirt''' is the first of the two shirts. T-shirts can be [[read]]. If you go shopping when wearing a T-shirt and the [[shopkeeper]] sees it (i.e., there is no [[body armor]] or [[cloak]] over it), he will charge an extra 1/3 markup and buy things for 1/3 of the base price.

Shirts confer no base [[AC]] on their own, but can be [[scroll of enchant armor|enchanted]] into a lightweight source of extra AC - they are most valuable for this purpose once a character has obtained [[magic resistance]] or [[unchanging]] to protect them from [[polymorph trap]]s, since polymorphing into a large form will destroy torso armor. In the early game, it may be better to enchant other armor such as a [[helm]], [[boots]] or [[gloves]]; in the later stages, they are a somewhat common form of [[wish]] used to complete late-game and [[ascension kit]]s by topping off a character's AC.

Shirts are a popular target for [[polypiling]] since they are non-magical, making them fairly easy to obtain by [[polymorph]]ing a large pile of armor - the [[Castle]] and [[Fort Ludios]] in particular always guarantee a sufficient amount of armor, and the Castle's armor storeroom has a significant 13.13% chance of containing a shirt.

If you go shopping when wearing a Hawaiian shirt and the [[shopkeeper]] sees it (i.e., there is no [[body armor]] or [[cloak]] over it), he will charge an extra 1/3 markup and buy things for 1/3 of the base price.

Neither shirt confers any [[AC]] bonus unless enchanted, but since each can be safely enchanted up to +5 (reading a blessed scroll of enchant armor with the shirt at +3), there is no disadvantage to wearing them, and hence they are excellent [[ascension kit]] items.
 
 
Since they are comparatively rare, a shirt may even be worth wishing for, simply for something to hang the extra +5 AC bonus on. Those not averse to [[polypiling]] should also note that a shirt is non-magical and as such are fairly easy to obtain by [[polymorph]]ing a large pile of [[armor]] objects (try [[The Castle]] or [[Fort Ludios]]). Many players are even known to ascend with a +7 t-shirt through polymorphing elven armor.[http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=nethack+%2B7+NEAR+shirt+NEAR+being+NEAR+worn&fr=yfp-t-892&dups=1]
 
 
The armor store in the [[Castle]] level, which has fourteen randomly selected armors, makes for a significant 13.13% chance of having either a Hawaiian or normal t-shirt. The forty general store items in [[Orcus Town]], assuming there are no mimics, also has nontrivial ~8% chance of having a shirt spawned.

A Hawaiian shirt in a [[bones]] pile is a strong indicator that the deceased was a Tourist.
 
 
==[[SLASH'EM]]==
 
In SLASH'EM, if [[the Guild of Disgruntled Adventurers]] is generated (50%), then it has a guaranteed two Hawaiian shirts, from the two guaranteed [[Tourist (player monster)|tourists]].
 
 
==Other shirts==
 
Other [[variant]]s add new types of shirts, besides the T-shirt and Hawaiian shirt, that form part of the starting inventory of new roles:
 
 
* '''[[striped shirt]]''': worn by [[Convict]]s, present in [[UnNetHack]], [[DynaHack]], [[dNetHack]], [[Slash'EM Extended]], [[SLASHTHEM]]
 
* '''ruffled shirt''': worn by standard [[Noble]]men, in dNetHack, Slash'EM Extended, and SLASHTHEM

* '''[[expensive suit]]''': worn by [[Undertaker]]s in SLASHTHEM (from the obsolete variant [[NetHack--]])
 
 
===Ruffled shirt and Victorian underwear===
 
The [[Noble|Noble role]], introduced in [[dNetHack]] and incorporated into [[Slash'EM Extended]] and [[SLASHTHEM]], features new gender-specific starting shirts for Nobles: the '''ruffled shirt''' for Noblemen and '''Victorian underwear''' for Noblewomen.
 
 
The exact behaviour of these new shirts differs between variants.

In [[dNetHack]], the [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Items#Ruffled shirt|ruffled shirt]] grants a +1 bonus to [[charisma]] and can be enchanted to raise [[AC]] like any other shirt.

A shirt is a type of armor that appears in NetHack and is generally worn underneath body armor.

Generation

Shirts make up 1% of all randomly generated armor.

List of shirts

There are two types of shirt in NetHack:

Name Cost Weight AC Weight/AC Material MC Appearance
T-shirt 2 5 0 0 cloth 0
Hawaiian shirt 3 5 0 0 cloth 0

Strategy

Shirts confer no base AC on their own, but can be enchanted into a lightweight source of extra AC - they are most valuable for this purpose once a character has obtained magic resistance or unchanging to protect them from polymorph traps, since polymorphing into a large form will destroy torso armor. In the early game, it may be better to enchant other armor such as a helm, boots or gloves; in the later stages, they are a somewhat common form of wish used to complete late-game and ascension kits by topping off a character's AC.

Shirts are a popular target for polypiling since they are non-magical, making them fairly easy to obtain by polymorphing a large pile of armor - the Castle and Fort Ludios in particular always guarantee a sufficient amount of armor, and the Castle's armor storeroom has a significant 13.13% chance of containing a shirt. The random general store items in Orcus Town may also have a shirt among them.

The table below contains a breakdown of the probabilities of success for polypiling a shirt:

Confidence 25% 50% 75% 95%
Polymorphs 28.62 68.97 137.94 298.07
Armors needed (blessed) 3.59 8.66 17.32 37.41
Armors needed (uncursed) 5.51 13.29 26.58 57.42

Variants

Variants of NetHack often add new types of shirts - those that incorporate the Convict role add the striped shirt, which all Convicts start the game with.

dNetHack

dNetHack adds several shirts with distinct effects:

SpliceHack

SpliceHack adds a few shirt-type items:

SlashTHEM

SlashTHEM adds the following shirts:

  • Ruffled shirts from dNetHack, which behave as ordinary shirts
  • Victorian underwear from dNetHack, which still grants MC3 at the cost of an AC penalty
  • Expensive suits from the NetHack-- series, which Undertakers start with
  • Striped shirts, which Convicts start the game with
