T-SHIRTS

HISTORY OF THE CLASSIC WHITE TEE

The T-shirt started as underwear. In the late 19th century, navy sailors would slice their “union suits” at the equator, adapting them for summer wear. The more comfortable tops were easy to wear―and in 1913, the US military formally adopted an evolved short-sleeved version, in cotton, as an official undergarment.

Two factors turned the T-shirt from an “unmentionable” to near ubiquity. The first were soldiers. Having gotten used to wearing just T-shirts with their uniform pants, men continued the habit when they returned from World War II.

The July 13, 1942 issue of LIFE Magazine might just be the first photo of a printed tee in popular culture.

The second factor was star power. In 1951’s A Streetcar Named Desire, Marlon Brando spent most of the film in a white undershirt. Audiences swooned and the plain white tee went from underthing to “overthing”, overnight.

T-shirt Fact

F. Scott Fitzgerald was the first writer to use the term “T-shirt” in his novel, This side of Paradise.
