Primary text

It is permissible to wear it as an upper garment because this is lighter use. Whoever owns a thing also owns the right to use a lighter form of it.

Supporting text

A secondary opinion holds that it is not permissible because this manner of use is not customary for a shirt, making it similar to using it as an 'izar.
