The History of T- Shirts

We all have a pair of T-Shirts in our wardrobe, right? T-shirts are arguably the most popular outer garment in the entire world. As it is inexpensive and easy to clean garments, we all keep them on our favorite list.  Coming in a range of styles, colors, and sizes, there will be at least one piece with every one of us, but where did this iconic garment come from and how did it become so popular?  Why are people very much fond of it?

Every living and non- living things got a history. T-Shirts too got a history of its own. It’s only half a century that the T-Shirts got into our closets. The U.S. Navy introduced T-Shirts during the Spanish American War, with crew-necks and short sleeves and were meant to be worn as underwear beneath the uniform.  Soon it got an iconic name from its shape resembling the letter "T" and people worked in every sector adopted the T-shirts, preferring the lightweight fabric in hot weather conditions.

In the late 1960's, the T-shirt became a means of self-expression as wearable art as well as to convey commercial advertising, souvenir messages, and protests.  People printed whatever they felt like the society should get into their head.  T-Shirts began to scream about Music, Cinema, Politics, Love and much more. What is the most common thing that you have ever seen printed over a T-Shirt? For me, it’s Bob Marley!

Today, a wide variety of T-Shirts are available in the market, with the charming designs and prints, which makes them adorable. Methods like Airbrushing, embroidery, direct printing, heat transfer, silk screening, sublimation, etc. are used to beautify them.  The best quality that everyone finds with these garments is that they can be worn without ironing, isn’t it? You can just put on and run. They are just casual, comfortable, and affordable!
