I still prefer the previous, "this very plain and simple garment that you
now behold, and which, you will perceive, is merely a shirt with truncated
sleeves made from sadly cheap and lightweight fabric." That description just
SCREAMS "T-shirt" to me, with a nice hint of stoic irony. (I particularly
like the "sadly.")

However, another ending wouldn't stop me from buying the shirt. The artist
may do as he sees fit.
