Tough ol' bugger!
Reminiscent of the old 1980's-90's "tearaway" jerseys of the NFL (american football) worn by the running backs so that just grabbing their jersey would not give the defender a strong enough hold to bring down the runner, instead just tearing off a piece of the jersey leaving the runner still going. I vividly remember watching one game where Archie Manning went through 15 or more jerseys in one game playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. Eventually outlawed in football and instead replaced with extremely tight form fitting elastic jerseys.
But an excellent idea for anyone who does not wish to have their clothing used against them in an altercation. Brilliant!
