Welcome to my BLOG on T-Shirts


Here is a tidbit of history on the t-shirt, how it got it's name and how it was originally used.

"The t-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century, through cutting the one-piece "union suit" underwear into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to tuck under the waistband of the bottoms." "Named the t-shirt due to the shape of the garment's "T" outline, they soon became popular as a bottom layer of clothing for workers in various industries, including agriculture. The T-shirt was easily fitted, easily cleaned, and inexpensive, and for this reason, it became the shirt of choice for young boys."(Wikipedia, 2009)

We have come a long way in how t-shirts are used and viewed in society. In fact today, they are "billboards for the body". T-shirts are not permanent like a tattoo, so you can change your mind and point of view daily if needed. The t-shirt gives you an idea of the wearers personality and point of view, just by the style and saying on their t-shirt.

This blog will give examples of various styles and attitudes of t-shirts as well as their evolution.

Enjoy!
