Certainly conjures visions of Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski in Street
Car Named Desire.
Maybe Jackie Gleason in the Honeymooners.

BTW, growing up, this kind of sleeveless t-shirt was known in my circle as a
Polish Smoking Jacket, which is odd because Polish was not a major ethnic
identity in North Texas.
