[ not everyone is as meticulously practiced at how they present themselves to the outside world as she is. that takes time, and a lot of effort. he hasn't had as much opportunity as she has yet, and it's always been a high priority for her. ]
It's a compression vest. The pressure is meant to relieve anxiety.

[ it's... a little surprising, that she'd taken note and went out to get him something so specifically helpful. he's not terribly used to having close friends, or people that know him much (hell, he hardly knows himself), so it's a bit endearing. well, he's feeling plenty of anxiety at the moment, to he turns it over in his hands, trying to find how it works. ]
How does it... go on?
[ there's velcro bits all over, but he seems to find armholes and slips his arms into it. it feels a little ridiculous, and he's a good bit embarrassed for being called out on his... issues... but he's grateful. wants to show that he is. ]

You can adjust the tension with the velcro, it just has to be pulled tightly. But, um. You can wear it under your shirt...if you want to wear it out.
[ it's not really meant to be worn out, though. but he could sleep in it, sure. ]
