"but the shirt appears somewhat pristine for a work shirt that is over 7 years old."
You're darn tootin' it looks pristine, LT! And actually, that occurred to me as well, but you're the one who said it, so I want you to have credit for it.
And if you look at the condition of the shirt 7 years earlier, you'll see that it already looks pretty raggy. I'll attach it.
But please, don't underestimate the significance of the subterfuge. It could not have been easy for Lovelady to duplicate that shirt so closely (and, as it turned out, the new one didn't have a pocket). But for him to do that without ANNOUNCING that he had done it is a major breach of honesty, and it shows that by that point, he was part of the ruse. He was trying a little too hard to be the Doorway Man. You called it, LT! This Bud's for you!
