Too bad you didn’t post a pic of the actual video frame next to the waveform because I’ll bet that black shirt is actually represented in the middle part in the waveform that bottoms out at 10 IRE and not the tiny specs at 0 IRE on far left and right edges of the video frame, which represent the top and bottom edges of the videotape. Very common elevated black level problem when transferring from a D8 camcorder/deck directly via FireWire. This can easily be corrected later in your video editing software before making the final video file.
