I forgot to mention the big advantage of the shirts I sponge dyed in layers. It's hard to see where I dropped food on myself.

I could use something like that for that same reason. Probably also
even make it hard to notice the outline of a gun in my waistband
amongst the hippie colors and food droppings.

I wear baggy shirts for that reason.

One of my toys is a stencil cutter. I could easily make it look like I might be packing all sorts of heat. That might be a bit too insane, even for me. I dunno. Maybe use a big crucifix or a whole bunch of them to hide any funny business.

I don't know why you think anyone is limited to "hippy colors". Unless you're stuck in the past we are no longer in the era of Rit union dyes. Procion dyes are a whole new ballgame. I can buy or mix up just about any color you can imagine and get something far more colorfast than Rit ever imagined. Primary colors are so '60s.

Look, so, like, let's see some pictures so that I can self-define my
own mind employing the calculus of my own preconceived metrics.

I think this link will get you to all 11 pictures I posted:

https://imgbox.com/images#/all/1

I didn't make the blue/green shirt that has some yellow in it. All the better to hide the mustard. That was my inspiration. I bought that shirt through Etsy over 3 years ago. I have been wearing it a lot. It's getting a bit worn and faded. It was made by a woman in FL who calls her business Magie's Farm. Eventually I'll break down and buy another shirt from her. She's very good at what she does.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/MAGGIESFARMTIEDYE?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=728834833

Her shirt, my purple shirt and my bat shirt all started out as the same Port Authority white cotton shirt. Mine had been lightly worn work shirts back in the day. My blue/green shirt started out as a thrift store find. The tan shirt was probably war surplus from somewhere. There are a lot of that one on Ebay and I saw a government official in Africa on TV wearing that shirt. The dye sublimation process only works on man made fibers. I made the coffee cup using the same process and some historical pictures. The Native American ladies are Blind Kate Coos and Anna "Annie" Ditallo from around 1900. Anna was pictured on a post card labeled The Rock Oyster Queen. At that time it was uncommon to see Native Americans on the coast. Anna was probably married to a White man. You might not be able to see in in this picture, but she was wearing a nice pair of leather shoes. That picture was taken in Newport. The bridge on my shirt is the Yaquina bay bridge in Newport, which is an Oregon icon. The Hudson's Bay Company pretty much wiped out the Yaquina Indians before the homesteaders arrived.

Those are a little bit flashy for me to wear in public. Maybe if they
used black, brown, olive, and tan for colors?

An old Navy Vet pal used to swear, that "Battleship Grey" was his favorite color.... BTW, as a fashion critic, I notice you favor conservative those "pre-funeral colors", which is a smart choice for a geezer of your age, possibly fearing adverse attention for his personal attire?

One can also see how, that, "Eastman, GA. look", would be far, far, too "square", for a crab trapping, bon vivant, like TB, who rolls, with the aplomb of a traveling salesman, as he flits through life in his "glad rags"....

damright. I prefer my normal state to be Virtually Invisible. If, at
some transitory point in the passage of time, I should want to be
literally visible, I'll wave my arms and holler.
