A '''shirt''' is a piece of [[armor]] worn underneath body armor. There are two types of shirt in NetHack: the '''T-shirt''' and the '''Hawaiian shirt'''. Both are functionally identical.

A '''shirt''' is a type of [[armor]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]'' and is generally worn underneath body armor.
  
0.2% of all randomly generated armor items are T-shirts, while 0.8% are Hawaiian shirts.

There are two types of shirt in ''NetHack'':

  |name=T-shirt
 
  |slot=shirt
 
  |ac=0

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.

The extra T-shirt messages were added in [[NetHack 3.4.0]] from a [http://www.killerbunnies.org/nethack/3.3.1/tshirt.diff patch by Scott Bigham]. Previously, the only messages were:{{refsrc|read.c|86|version=NetHack 3.3.0}}

Neither shirt confers any [[AC]] bonus unless enchanted, but since each can be safely [[scroll of enchant armor|enchanted]] up to +5, there is no disadvantage to wearing them, and hence they are excellent [[ascension kit]] items.

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.
 
 
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]]). See the table below for a breakdown of probabilities of success from polypiling.

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
