Give me the shirt.

I'll take the shirt.
I'll buy the shirt.
Give me the shirt.

I've found these phrases on my textbook. Doesn't the phrase "give me..." sound too casual or even rude??
And if I want to use the word "it" instead of "shirt", do you say " Give it to me"?
Thank you.

Hi,

I'll take the shirt / I'll take it. Only this sounds natural to me. To make such statements polite, always add 'please'
