I struggled with the whole shirt thing, often times with concert shirts. In high school they became a badge of honor or something equally ridiculous. Now I see it more as an extension of our stupid materialistic tendency to think that we are what we buy. As if some spiritual quality became ours through the extension of our pocket books. The dialogue in Fight Club riffs off this really well at points. It's more complex than that but I don't know how to put it in simpler terms without sounding like Lacan or Derrida or something equally convoluted and obnoxious. But basically we are slaves to this system, chained by our desires. Not that I don't fall victim often enough but I would just assume go naked from now on.
