A T-shirt (or tee shirt) is a shirt, usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and
short sleeves, that is pulled on over the head and covers most of a person's torso. There are also
long-sleeved T and sleeveless T variants. 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
(except that women usually wear a bra beneath it). A T typically extends to the waist, although one
fashion is for "oversized" T-shirts.

A more recent trend in women's clothing involves tight-fitting "cropped"
T-shirts that are short enough to reveal the lower abdomen including the
belly button. T fashions include styles for men and women, and for all age
groups, including baby, youth and adult sizes. T-shirts are often
decorated with text and/or pictures.
T-shirts are manufactured by the textile industry. They are typically made
of cotton or polyester fibers (or a mix of the two), knitted together in a
jersey stitch that gives a T its distinctive soft texture.
The idea of the T came to the USA during WWI 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. During WWII the T
had become standard issue underwear in both the U.S. Army and Navy.
Although the T 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. As a result, the public was frequently exposed to
pictures of members of the armed forces wearing pants and a T. As an
example, the cover of the July 13, 1942 issue of Life magazine, features a
picture of a soldier wearing a T with the text "Air corps gunnery school".
After WWII the T started appearing without a shirt covering it in civilian
life. According to the New York Times, the 1948 presidential campaign of
Thomas E. Dewey produced a "Dew It for Dewey" T, 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. The
T became cool when James Dean wore it in the film Rebel Without a
Cause.
In the 1960s, the Ringer T appeared and became a staple fashion for
youth and rock-n-rollers. People also started to tie-dye and screen-print
the basic T and variants such as the tank top, A-shirt (with the nickname
"wife beater"), muscle shirt, scoop neck, V-neck etc. became popular.
Since then T-shirts have become a medium for self-expression and
advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and even
photographs on display.
Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique,
embroidery, 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.
The most common form of commercial t 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 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.
In the 1980s, thermochromatic dyes were used to produce T-shirts that
changed colour when subjected to heat. This brand of T, 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.
Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent
brand-name logos have been popular, especially with teenagers and
young adults. These garments allowed consumers to flaunt their taste in
designer brands in an inexpensive way, in addition to being decorative.
Examples: Calvin Klein, FUBU, Ralph Lauren, The Gap.
The early 2000's saw the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and
designs, with a strong inclination to the humorous and/or ironic. The
trend has only increased later in this decade; embraced by celebrities,
such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, and reflected back on them, too
('Team Aniston').
The story of the message tee embraces the modern phenomenon of
“personal branding” (indicating, in this case, the wearer’s sense of
humor), as well as a climate in which statements—political or personal—
are generally preferred to be catchy than true . Notable was the
popularity of political slogans and messages on T-shirts coinciding with
the presidential election.
The political and social statements that T-shirts often display have
become, since the 2000's, one of the reasons that they have so deeply
permeated different levels of culture and society. 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.
The early 2000s used the internet to continue the modern phenomenon
of "personal branding". Companies such as Threadless, ArtApart, and
CafePress make it easy for people to create their own designs, while
creating online communities of fellow T designers and consumers.
By 2006 NewAttire had been introduced to T-shirts using 3d hologram or
lenticular technology.
