A T-shirt
(or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless,
and pocketless, with a round neck and mostly (but not
necessarily) short sleeves, that is pulled on over the
head and covers most of a person's torso. The sleeves
of the T-shirt extend at least slightly over the shoulder
but not completely over the elbow (in short-sleeve version).
A shirt that is either longer or shorter than this ceases
to be a T-shirt.
T-shirts are typically made of cotton or polyester
fibers (or a mix of the two), knitted together in a
jersey stitch that gives a T-shirt its distinctive soft
texture. T-shirts are often decorated with text and/or
pictures. It is also a good place to advertise.
T-shirt fashions include styles for men and women,
and for all age groups, including baby, youth and adult
sizes.
History
In the 19th century, the idea of underwear developed,
which had not been common before. At some point near
the turn of the century, the underwear shirt was developed;
the shirt was always a part of clothing since ancient
Egypt, though it slowly became more and more popular.
Hence, there have been many garments that resemble
the T-shirt,[1] though the general trend supported
the possibility of less clothing, which cultural modesty
had forbidden until the 19th century. The origin of
the T-Shirt is obscure — claims reach at least
from California to Britain, and from 1913 to 1948,
and it was most likely a slow development during that
time.
On these grounds, there are claims that Howard Jones
asked the underwear company "Jockey" in 1932
to develop a sweat absorbing shirt for the USC Trojans
football team, which they propose was the "modern
T-Shirt".[3][4]
Most research mentions this possibility that the idea
of the T-shirt came to the United States during World
War I when US soldiers noticed the light cotton undershirts
European soldiers were using while the US soldiers sweated
in their wool uniforms. Since they were so much more
comfortable they quickly became popular among the Americans,
and because of their design they got the name T-shirt.
Other experts credit the U.S. Navy's "light undershirt"
from 1913, described with "elastic collarette on
the neck opening, called "crew neck".[2] The
Los Angeles Times claimed in 2006 that the Navy shirt
as described in 1913's regulations state that the "light
undershirt" was different from what is commonly
worn today, with the Navy's version boasting an "elastic
collarette on the neck opening" and other odd features.[3]
The origin of the name is uncertain: many refer to
the shape of the shirt as a "T", while it
could also emphasize the use of the army as a "training
shirt". The shape-based theory is supported by
the existence of an A-shirt in the 1930s USA, which
was the usual undershirt later labelled the tank top.
It is also a possibility that the name "tee"
comes from amputee, a reference to the shortened length
of the arms.
During World War II the T-shirt had become standard
issue underwear in both the U.S. Army and the Navy.
Although the T-shirt was formally underwear, soldiers
often used it without a shirt covering it while doing
heavy labor or while stationed in locations with a hot
climate, just like their former underwear. As a result,
the public was frequently exposed to pictures of members
of the armed forces wearing pants and a T-shirt. This
became gradually more acceptable, as the cover of the
July 13, 1942 issue of Life magazine shows, which features
a picture of a soldier wearing a T-shirt with the text
"Air Corps Gunnery School".[5]
After WWII the T-shirt started appearing without a
shirt covering it in civilian life. According to the
New York Times, the 1948 presidential campaign of New
York Governor Thomas E. Dewey produced a "Dew It
for Dewey" T-shirt, which was followed in 1952
by "I Like Ike" T-shirts in support of Dwight
D. Eisenhower. John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean
all wore them on national TV. At first the public was
shocked, but by 1955 it had become acceptable.[6]
Trends
T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts. This still
occurs, but T-shirts are now also frequently worn as
the only piece of clothing on the top half of the body
(other than possibly a bra or an undershirt (vest).
T-shirts have also become a medium for self-expression
and advertising, with any imaginable combination of
words, art and even photographs on display.
In the early 1950s several companies based in Miami,
Florida, started to decorate tee shirts with different
resort names and various characters. The first company
was Tropix Togs, under founder Sam Kantor, in Miami.
They were the original licensee for Walt Disney characters
that included Mickey Mouse and Davey Crockett. Later
other companies expanded into the tee shirt printing
business that included Sherry Manufacturing Company
also based in Miami. Sherry started in 1948 by its owner
and founder Quinton Sandler as a screen print scarf
business and evolved into one of the largest screen
printed resort and licensed apparel companies in the
United States.
A T-shirt typically extends to the waist, although
one fashion is for "oversized" T-shirts, namely
in modern hip hop fashion (a perfect example of this
can be clearly seen in the song, White Tee, by Dem Franchize
Boyz). A more recent trend in women's clothing involves
tight-fitting "cropped" T-shirts that are
short enough to reveal the midriff. Another popular
trend is wearing a " long-sleeved T-shirt",
then putting a short sleeved T-shirt of a different
color over the long sleeved shirt. This is known as
"layering".
Decoration
The most common form of commercial t-shirt decoration
is screen-printing. In screen-printing, a design is
separated into individual colors. Plastisol or water
based inks are applied to the shirt through mesh screens
which limits the areas where ink is deposited. In most
commercial T-shirt printing, the specific colors in
the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum
with a limited number of colors, process printing (using
only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated
process (using only white, black, red, green, blue,
and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is best
suited for light colored shirts. Simulated process is
best suited for dark colored shirts.
Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include
airbrush, applique, embroidery, impressing or embossing
and the ironing on of either flock lettering, heat transfers,
or Dye Sublimation transfers. Laser printers are capable
of printing on plain paper using a special toner containing
sublimation dyes which can then be permanently heat-transferred
to T-shirts.
In the 1980s, thermochromatic dyes were used to produce
T-shirts that changed colour when subjected to heat.
This brand of T-shirt, Global Hypercolour, was a common
sight on the streets of the UK for a few years, but
has since mostly disappeared. These were very popular
in the United States as well in the late 80's among
teens. A downside of color-change garments is that the
dyes can easily be damaged, especially by washing in
warm water, or dye other clothes during washing.
The political and social statements that T-shirts often
display have become, since the 2000s, one of the reasons
that they have so deeply permeated different levels
of culture and society.[citation needed] The statements
also may be found to be offensive, shocking or pornographic
to some. Many different organizations have caught on
to the statement-making trend, including chain and independent
stores, websites, and schools.
A popular phrase on the front of T-shirts demonstrating
T-shirts popularity among tourists is the humorous phrase
"I did _____ and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
Examples include "I went to Las Vegas and all I
got was this lousy T-shirt." and "My parents
went to San Francisco and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
T-shirt exchange is an activity where people trade
their tshirts they are wearing. Some designs specifically
write on the shirt "trade with me"
a try. Most sites allow you to browse and post personal
ads free.
