Matthew 5:40

If anyone wants to sue you and take your tunic (a shirt-like long undergarment),
let him also take your cloak (your outer garment).
[If someone was unable to repay a loan, the cloak could be taken as collateral, but had to be returned before sunset, see Ex. 22:26–27. Not only giving up the cloak, but also starting to take off one's undergarments in court would be surprising. Nudity was taboo In Jewish tradition, and the shame fell less on the person who was naked than on those who saw it or caused it, see Gen. 9:20–27.]
