When my brother and I watch Twin Peaks, we like to keep track of how many shirts various characters wear at once. The standing record, I believe, takes place in the very first episode of season two, when Bobby Briggs wears four shirts at once—a long sleeved white shirt, a short sleeved navy blue shirt, a flannel shirt tied around his waist, and a black leather jacket.
Once, I would have thought that was a lot of shirts.
After watching Bill Maher's 2008 film Sleepwalking, I've had to adjust my caliber. In this movie, Woody Harrelson wears seven shirts at once! Seven!
I've pointed out each of them above. You'll notice that Woody's also wearing two hats at once!!
I did a little research to find out why anyone would ever wear such an ungodly number of shirts at once. According to the Wikipedia page, which does not provide a source for this information, this movie was filmed in Moose Jaw, Canada, often in sub-zero conditions.
Okay, fine. But this scene is inside! It could still be cold indoors, of course, but not so cold a person would need seven shirts!
So I have to assume this is a style choice. And I kind of like it. My only fear is that it would be a little bulky and uncomfortable. But I guess I'll have to trust Woody on this one!
