Can my boss withhold my paycheck.?

Hello, I am 17 years old, and just quit my job. When I first started this job as a dishwasher two years ago, we recieved a simple red t-shirt with the company name on it. I wore it for a month, but then it got ruined with bleach and grease/oil from dishwashing. For the other 23 months I have just worn whatever I wanted and they didn't care since the shirt got ruined. My boss won't give me my paycheck until I give him the shirt, which has been thrown away a year and a half ago. Naturally, this was my busiest work week for 48 hours (a paycheck over $400). Can he keep my paycheck because I don't have the $5 shirt they gave me when I first started?
