Ask Tug: What Tank Top Undershirt is Hugh Jackman wearing as Wolverine in X-Men Origins?

I guess Hugh’s da man when it comes to wearing undershirts in movies.

If you remember, back in November a reader wrote in wondering what undershirt the actors were wearing in the movie Flyboys (2006), and while I was researching that, I ran across Hugh wearing a Henley/Shearer’s undershirt in the Epic movie Australia.

Well, Hugh’s back on the big screen again in the X-Men prequel Origins (in theaters on May 1) wearing a paper thin ribbed tank top and inquiring minds want to know which one he’s wearing.

According to Style Hunter, Costumer Louise Mingenbach chose ”Richelieu” ribbed tanks by Swiss brand Zimmerli ($77; customshirt1.com) to show off Wolverine’s buff arms because she liked the top’s ”traditional look.” Mingenbach had each tank aged to a different level of distress, using about 50 in all.

For those interested, the special rib design (wide and narrow ribs in the same fabric) in this high-end tank from Zimmerli is known as a Verigated Rib.
