The reserve price that the site owners want to reach is $1,499.99.
Dimora has been charged in the Cuyahoga County corruption probe and is scheduled to go to trial beginning Jan. 4. Dimora has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
The text on the bidding notice reads as follows:
"This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. This shirt was owned and worn by the notorious Jimmy Dimora, of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. He has been referred to as the modern day "Boss Tweed" and is currently at the center of arguably the largest public corruption investigation in U.S. history."
"Having been indicted in numerous criminal charges ranging from fixing local elections to embezzling and misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars for personal use, this case gets worse by the day, and his trial has been delayed several times already because of the additional charges being piled on."
"This shirt belonged to a man who may well go down in history as one of the most corrupt, notorious politicians in U.S. history. The Size 5XL shirt -- Mr. Dimora is a sizable man -- is printed with "Mayor Jimmy Dimora" on the front and and "Mayor Jimmy Dimora, Chairman Cuyahoga County Democratic Party" on the back."
"Dimora resigned from the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party as chairman in 2009, so this shirt is several years old, but is still in excellent condition."
Dimora served as mayor of Bedford Heights from 1982 until 1999.
