Ironman verdict

Desert shirt is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 5 shops for it.

The easiest way is to buy it: the cheapest of the shops that stock it is Pollnivneach general store in Pollnivneach, at 40 coins each.

It is worn in the body slot, with no positive combat bonuses. Shops stock it in 5 places, including Pollnivneach, Al Kharid, Shantay Pass and Sophanem.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Black desert shirt (1 Crafting). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 24 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch loses about 156 coins; only alch it to clear space.
