" There are plenty of reasons to like Snoop Dogg: his early work with Dr.Dre, his impressive\u00A0solo career, his delightful personality, his sporting equipment, his fierce loyalty to struggling chicken &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; waffles\u00A0chains.\u00A0But why would someone spend\u00A0$1,000 to have his face cover his or her entire\u00A0torso? Does the shirt come with a week&amp;#039;s supply of joints hand rolled by Snoop Dogg? Do you get the opportunity to watch three hours of Planet Earth with Snoop himself?\u00A0 No and no. The shirt is actually a product of luxury streetwear-inspired\u00A0label Vetements. Along with creating a $330 DHL shirt, a $1700\u00A0Star Wars skirt, and whatever\u00A0this thing is for $330, the brand manufactures in insanely small quantities\u00A0to keep supply low and demand high. But, as Complex points out, this particular shirt is expensive as hell because it&amp;#039;s based on\u00A0a vintage\u00A0Snoop Dogg shirt. The photo itself is an outtake from a Dan Winters cover shoot for Vibe, which\u00A0Death Row Records used for\u00A0merch back in 1993. To make the tee and not get sued, Vetements had to pay to license\u00A0the image. Here&amp;#039;s the comparison to the &amp;#039;93 original:      Left is a Beware of Dogg promo tee from 1993 by Death Row Merchandise Inc. Right is Vetements from Riccardi Boston. pic.twitter.com/a1fzXQcMNY \u2014 Chad (@Fourty8XL) March 22, 2016    [h/t: Complex] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
