Aruch HaShulchan, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 389, Se'if 6: "And it seems to me that nowadays people are not careful to give the shirt to another to wear first, because many people are repulsed by wearing a shirt that someone else has worn. Furthermore, regarding a shirt, one can be lenient even according to the Riva, as this is not for pleasure but because it is impossible to wear an old shirt due to sweat. It can be said that the intention of the Riva is regarding other garments and not the shirt."
