I was lucky to buy these off Ebay, and they arrived today in excellent condition.
Thank you so much for posting the link, bf!!
I never check on Ebay, so would have missed them if it weren't for you.

Do people just stare at them dumbly? Do they start to cry? Is there any emotional reaction at all? I don't think I could look at them without losing it, and probably saying, "Jack, I swear."

I have had the opportunity once to actually launder the shirts! EDelMar, who owns at least four of the shirts used in the film (he got them at the same time as he got the Truck) asked me to wash them as they were getting rather ripe smelling. I hand washed them in a stream while naked separately in ivory soap flakes, rinsed them gently without wringing, and hung them to dry on a wire hanger on a nail. What a marvelous experience!
When the shirts were on display in my town's art museum as part of an exhibit on Rockmount Ranch Wear's history, they were hung on a door just like in the movie, and the door was mounted in the former nave of a church which has become the art museum. That really did bring tears to my eyes.

They're still shown at the Rockmount store! :)
Now I wonder if they could even be hanging on the real closet door from the movie... It sure looks the same.
