   It shouldn’t be so unreal, but it might be. Good luck though!

   I wonder, how long it would take to put on such a t-shirt.

   By the way, I wonder if there are several types of latex. Some garments have a smell that I dislike, others are fine. It seems that thicker latex with a shiny surface is the worst.

   Actually, I already have a latex t-shirt with long sleeves made out of thin shiny latex. The smell is fantastic ;-) Speaking of putting it on – there is no problem if it’s properly lubricated. It takes no more than a couple of minutes. If it’s not… Hmmm… You can’t put in on at all.

   The problem is taking the t-shirt off.

   Ah, forgot to add that I do not like how that t-shirt “sits” on me, The balance is plainly wrong.

   Generally, it’s much easier to deal with chlorinated latex. I have a pair of opera-length gloves – if your skin is dry, no lubricant is needed.

   This is realistic, but you will probably have to glue it yourself (not too hard for basics such as t-shirts). 1m² of 0.35mm sheet latex costs about 20€ (10€ if you feel like buying 10 running meters), and is definitely enough for a t-shirt, at least for my size (ie. somewhere between M and S). Add the price of the glue and labor cost, and your t-shirt costs at least 30€, with no profit margin left. So it’s only worth it if you’re making it for yourself (which is what I do).

   You could of course also try molded latex, unless you care about quality.
