We need Michael Stipe's shirt

Curses!

Michael Stipe of R.E.M. has designed a killer shirt for Lacoste. Pictured above, it's a shot of a crowd at a concert.

We likey. We likey a lot.

The problem? It's $300 in U.S. money. A normal Lacoste, at $80, is already a every-now-and-then treat (unless you feature those bootleg versions from the corner store, you know, the ones with the crooked buttons and the cock-eyed alligator with one paw; pass) but the way our economy is looking right now now that kind of dough seems better invested in canned beans, water and ammo.

I still want it though. Don't you?
