We can make materials as thin as one atom. It's just very expensive.
Can't you make one atom thin sheets of carbon with a pencil and tape?
Yes, you can, but your sheet will be very small. If you want to make a sheet large enough to make a shirt, things get ridiculously expensive.
Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word "impossibly". If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it's not impossible, right?
