It was a crime of fashion.

A guy wearing a T-shirt over his head smashed his way into a Bushwick store and stole more clothing early on Monday morning, police said.

The shirty thief used a crowbar to break the window of the store on Broadway between Sumner Place and Fayette Street at around 7:45 am, then swiped around $300 worth of jeans and sneakers, according to a police report.

Police believe the suspect is around 5-foot-8 and 160–200 pounds.

He was last seen wearing purple shirt with a gray shirt over his head, black sweatpants, and a black and red backpack.
