BI investigates….
We can't verify any specifics concerning his workwear. Wang didn't react to our texts asking for clarification on the fit.
Here are our finest guesses: it could be a vintage "back to earth" tagged 90s T-shirt. We established multiple examples of that brand on eBay and Poshmark that looked akin Wang's top, priced from $14 to $45. There's a near-replica lengthy sleeve type on Grailed for $40
And, for those looking to pilfer the appearance without finding a vintage equivalent, there are several lookalikes on the explanatory T-shirt location The Mountain.
For anyone thinking concerning dressing as Wang for Halloween, the costume may already be recognizable since we've seen it a few times before. He's worn a deer/camo garment for his Core Memory interview and for big inner meetings, Business Insider earlier reported.
An crucial reminder to create the trick-or-treating fit additional convincing: you have 37 days to develop out that mullet.
