The solution: 8 holes

Yes, you read that right: eight. Here’s the breakdown:

Two holes for the arms – One on each side for the sleeves.

A hole for the head – The neck opening at the top.

A hole at the bottom – The opening where the shirt ends.

Four holes in the fabric itself – two at the front and two directly aligned at the back. These are visible tears or cuts that run the entire length of the shirt.

When you add them all together:
2 (sleeves) + 1 (neck) + 1 (bottom) + 4 (front and back rips) = 8 holes in total.

Why is it so delicate?
