Can you not use 'tener prestado'?

Tenía/tuve prestada tu camisa.

I'm sure I learned that one a while back...

I'm pretty tired because it's late but I would say "Me prestaste una camisa". You don't borrow, you lend. You lent me. Since he has more than one shirt I'll wager, I would just say una camisa. But I could be wrong.
