When you look in your closet do you have, hiding in there, a tee shirt. In most cases a heck of a lot more than one I would say. T-shirts are usually short sleeved, sometimes long sleeved made of thin cotton or cotton blend, no buttons, or collar and is slipped over the head. Because they are usually worn oversized, the sleeves on these T-shirts will cut off at the elbow, a litter higher, if not oversized. They are considered casual wear and are a great favorite to wear for relaxation around the home and knocking around in.
A common piece of clothing worn on a daily bases, from the tiniest of humans to the largest. No thought is ever given to it's history. And the truth is, the T-shirt has been around for ages. No one can pinpoint it to a definite period of time, but similar cotton clothing was discovered in England during the 1880's. The common name for such items was a vest or an under-vest. Used as an undergarment, it was used to protect a man's clothing from perspiration. Today men wear this piece of clothing (T-shirt) as underwear and for the same reason as in the 1800's .
During World War II, the English under-vest was adopted by American soldiers. Since their thicker, less comfortable and restricted movement, Americans found the English under-vest. This type of garment could be worn alone and leave a person feeling much cooler and with a wider ranger of movement. It is thought that it was during this time that the word "T-shirt" was acknowledge, thanks to the distinctive shape of the garment. Other feel the origin of the name stemmed from the fact it was called a "training shirt."
At the conclusion of the second World War, the use of the T-shirt was no longer warn as under ware. It had made it's debut, so to speak, in the presidential campaign of to the shock of many both of the candidates came out with T-shirts printed to promote their campaign with their slogans of: "Dew it for Dewey" for Thomas E. Dewey and "I Like Ike" for Dwight D. Eisenhower. We see plenty of T-shirt today with slogans and more on them, but it was a shocker at that time. T-shirts had gave the impression of masculinity and ruggedness, and this was further amplified by the film performances of James Dean's "Rebel Without A Cause" who also appeared in a crisp white T-shirt, and Marlon Brando displaying his impressive physique via T-shirt in "The Wild One."
