Change a shirt not up to standard (5)

I believe the answer is:

tweak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'change' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a shirt not up to standard' is the wordplay.
'a shirt' becomes 't' (as in a T-shirt).
'not up to standard' becomes 'weak' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
't'+'weak'='TWEAK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tweak that I've seen before include "Fine-tune, twist" , "Pinch and twist" , "Make small adjustments" , "Make minor adjustments" , "Fine adjustment (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
