My guess would be the designer was briefed to make the shirt look interesting in sans jacket scenes. It's funny how such a subtle detail really enhances the shirt.

I agree. I think they wanted to make the shirt unique...and they succeeded. It's a minor detail compared to the rest of the gear, but it really makes the shirt special.

The early Lucasfilm output had a lot of the 'take real world stuff and add a bit to make them unique' attitude. ie Graflex Lightsabers, Sterling Stormtrooper blasters, MKVII with a leather strap etc.
No doubt this came from the same school of thought. It really helped ground stuff and make it feel more real.
