In watching a re-run of Scrubs today, and at the very start, JD was wearing a shirt that I liked, and now I want it. Does anyone know if there is some bizarre website out there that might actually list clothes worn by TV characters and wear someone could buy them? Or, failing that, does someone here just happen to know where the shirt came from? The episode is the fifth season premiere, “My Changing Ways.” The shirt is brown-ish?(my TV’s color isn’t great) , has a skeleton on it, and appears to have small writing on it, like it was pulled from a 19th century anatomy textbook or something.

I know some of the sites a lot of the shirts JD, Turk, and The Todd wear come from, like [Bustedtees.com](http://Bustedtees.com) and [Threadless.com](http://Threadless.com), but I didn’t find this one at any of them.

Obligatory bump for that one in a million shot…

Tried [cafepress.com](http://cafepress.com)?  
(Search anatomy and text gets you shirts with “Seattle” on them?)

[Zazzle.com](http://Zazzle.com) seems easier to search.

(And why doesn’t Google omit Grey’s Anatomy when -grey’s is used?

Very close, but not exact. It definitely didn’t seem like a cafepress or zazzle shirt, it appeared very professional, not a ‘random picture screenprinted on a white fruit of the loom’ shirt.

You could try Google images with various search words.

Try contacting the studio, actor, actor’s agent, or any fan clubs.
