The Origins of T-Shirts – Blessed be the lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle shirt

Have you ever wondered how the t-shirt became such an important part of American culture and fashion? Originally intended as a layering piece, the t-shirt has evolved into the most widely worn and powerful piece of clothing.
Let’s learn about how the simple garment that changed the fashion world, spawned a new business in clothing decoration, and forever changed the way messages are transmitted.

The History of T-Shirts

The t-shirt as we know it today is an essential piece of clothing. The simple garment is so thoroughly embedded in global society that it’s easy to forget that the t-shirt is still relatively new. T-shirts traced back to the late 1800s, when laborers would cut their jumpsuits in half to stay cool during the hotter months of the year. Between the Mexican-American War in 1898 and 1913, when the US Navy began providing them as standard undershirts, the first produced t-shirt was invented. Even so, not until 1920s the term “t-shirt” was recognized officially by the English lexicon, courtesy to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s publication of the term in his novel This Side of Paradise.

“So early in September, Amory, armed with ‘six suits summer underwear, six suits winter underwear, one sweater or T-shirt, one jersey, one winter jacket, etc.,’ set out for New England, the land of schools,” writes Fitzgerald.

Despite the fact that the t-shirt was invented in the early twentieth century, it was rarely seen as anything more than an undershirt. After WWII, it wasn’t uncommon to see veterans wearing a t-shirt tucked into their trousers, although t-shirts were virtually solely worn underneath “appropriate” clothing. In 1950’s A Streetcar Named Desire, famous actor Marlon Brando famously wore a white t-shirt as Stanley Kowalski, only to be followed by the late actor James Dean in 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause. The popularity of the t-shirt as a standalone outerwear garment increased thanks to these two founding fathers. Not only was the t-shirt becoming accepted as an outerwear item, but it was also being connected with a rebellious spirit.

“Because T-shirts were basically undergarments, it was subversive… Dennis Nothdruft, curator of the exhibition T-shirt: Cult — Culture — Subversion, which showed the radical history of the t-shirt at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London last year, adds, “It was a harsh political statement.”
