Very quality
In the case where 'quality' is used as an adjective, is it grammatically correct to say, 'That is a very quality shirt.'
It just doesn't sound at all right to me and yet, all the information that I have found seems to suggest that it is.
As far as I can see, 'quality' is gradeable so, 'a very quality shirt' is just fine and dandy...or is it?
This has been driving me nuts.

It is 'fine and dandy'-- and it is just as slangy as 'fine and dandy'. Don't use either of them in careful writing or formal conversation.
