Does the character on this shirt actually mean "shirt"

If so, I think I want one.

No, it doesn't. The Japanese word for shirt is "shyatsu", which is basically "shirt" with a Japanese accent. There is no kanji for it, because kanji is used only for native Japanese words.

The kanji is pronounced "san", and is the word for a type of thin kimono.

Thanks for clearing that up.
