A dry T-shirt and most other clothing has air between the threads and acts as an insulator for cold (and electricity). When wet it loses its insulating properties and conducts heat so it no longer keeps body heat inside the clothing. Since perspiration also has salt secreted through the skin, it is also can act as an electrical conductor.

Materials that do not allow electricity to pass easily through them are called insulators. Rubber, glass, plastic, and cloth are poor conductors of electricity.

What else can I help you with?
