David Ortiz is literally going to be retiring in style.

Luxury sportswear company Tommy Bahama is honoring the Boston Red Sox slugger with a limited edition silk shirt, which features an image of Ortiz blasting a home run with the Green Monster as the backdrop.

Only 550-650 shirts will be manufactured and they'll retail for $250.

"David fits into what we're trying to do. He's bigger than life," said Tommy Bahama chief executive officer Doug Wood. "I'm a big baseball fan and when we heard David was retiring it made sense he should be on a special edition. We wanted a piece of that."

Ortiz will be the first active player to be featured on a Tommy Bahama shirt. Baseball legends Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Jackie Robinson have previously been recognized by the company with custom shirts.
