Why Is It Called a T-Shirt? The Surprising Story Behind Its Name

The name “T-shirt” originates from its simple flat shape, where the body and extended sleeves form a capital letter “T.”

Originally worn as undershirts by the U.S. Navy in the early 1900s, they provided workers and sailors with affordable, breathable comfort.

In the 1950s, Hollywood stars Marlon Brando and James Dean transformed the plain white shirt into an iconic symbol of youthful rebellion.

Evolving into a canvas for artwork, band logos, and personal expression by the 1960s, the T-shirt remains a global fashion staple today.
