A T-shirt (or t shirt , or tee ) is a unisex fabric shirt style named after the T shape of the body and arm. It usually has short sleeves and round neck, known as the crew neck , which has no collar. T-shirts are generally made of cloth that is light and cheap and easy to clean.
Usually made of textile cotton in stockinette or knitting jersey, it has a very flexible texture compared to a shirt made of woven fabric. Most modern versions have a body made of continuous wicker tubes, produced on a circular loom, so the body has no side seams. The making of T-shirts has become very automated and may include cutting fabric with laser or water jet.
The T-shirt evolved from the underwear used in the 19th century and, in the middle of the 20th century, shifted from underwear to commonly used casual wear.
The V-neck T-shirt has a V-shaped neckline, as opposed to a round neckline of the more common neckline shirts (also called neck-U). V-neck is introduced so the shirt collar is not visible when worn under the outer shirt, like your neck shirt.

Histori
T-shirts evolved from underwear used in the 19th century. First, the one-piece union suit is cut into separate upper and lower garments, with the top sufficiently long to tuck under the lower belt. With and without buttons, they were adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 19th century as a comfortable cover for the hot environment.
As a buttonless outfit, the earliest shirts date back to sometime between the 1898 Spanish-American War and 1913, when the US Navy began issuing them as underwear. This is a white cotton shirt with short neck, short sleeve, to wear under uniform. Become common to sailors and marines in work parties, early submarines, and tropical climates to take off their uniform jackets, wear (and foul) only deep shirts.
They soon became popular as a bottom layer of clothing for workers in various industries, including agriculture. T-shirts are easy to install, easy to clean, and inexpensive, and for those reasons become the preferred outfit for boys. Boys' shirts are made in different colors and patterns. The word T-shirt became part of American English in the 1920s, and appeared in Merriam-Webster Dictionary .
With the Great Depression, T-shirts are often the standard outfit to wear when performing farming or farming duties, as well as other times when decency demands body covering but conditions that call for light fabrics. After World War II, it was worn by Navy men as underwear and slowly became commonplace to see the veterans wearing their uniform pants with their T-shirts as regular clothes. [1] The t-shirts became more popular in 1950 after Marlon Brando wore one in Street Street Named Desire, eventually achieving a status as a fashionable, stand-alone outfit. Often boys wear them while doing chores and playing outside, eventually opening up the idea to wear them as a general purpose casual outfit.
The printed t-shirts were used only in 1942 when the Air Corps Gunnery School shirt appeared on the cover of Life magazine. In the 1960s, printed shirts gained popularity for self-expression as well as for advertisements, protests, and souvenirs.
The current version is available in a variety of designs and fabrics, and styles include neck-crew and V-neck shirts. T-shirts are the most common outfit used today. T-shirts are very popular with branding for companies or merchandise, because they are cheap to buy and buy.

Trends
The T-shirt was originally worn as a shirt, but is now often worn as the only outfit on top of the body, other than maybe a bra or, rarely, a vest (vest). T-shirts are also a medium for self-expression and advertising, with a combination of words, art and imaginable photos.
T-shirts usually extend to the waist. Variants of T-shirts, such as V-neck, have been developed. Hip hop mode calls for a high-T shirt that can extend up to the knee. A similar item is a T-shirt or T-dress dress, a long T-shirt that can be worn without pants. Long shirts are also sometimes worn by women as nightgowns. The 1990s trend in women's clothing involves tight T-shirts or short crop tops enough to reveal the hilt. Another less popular trend is wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with a contrasting color over a long-sleeved T-shirt, known as layering. T-shirts that are tight for the body are called pas , customized socks or baby doll .
The rise of online shopping in the early to mid 2000s led to the development of new T-shirt ideas and trends. While some brick-and-mortar chains include these items in their inventory, many of these shirts are pioneered by online start-ups. Innovations include flip-up T-shirts, which users can lift and stretch over their heads to display interior prints, and all print garments.
With the advent of social media and video sharing sites there have also been many tutorials on DIY T-shirt projects. These videos usually give instructions on how to modify the old shirts into a more fashionable new form.
Decorations
In the early 1950s, several companies based in Miami, Florida, began to decorate T-shirts with different resort names and various characters. The first company is Tropix Togs, under the founder Sam Office, in Miami. They were the original licensees for Walt Disney characters in 1976 including Mickey Mouse and Davy Crockett. Later, other companies expanded the T-shirt printing business, including the Sherry Manufacturing Company, also based in Miami. Sherry, founded in 1948 by the owner and founder of Quentin H. Sandler as a screen printer from Souvenir Scarf's to the resort's souvenir market. In short, the company evolved into one of the largest screen printed resorts and licensed clothing companies in the United States. The company now (2018) runs automatic Screen Print emphasis and produces up to 10,000 to 20,000 T Shirts daily.
In the 1960s, T-shirt bells appeared and became the mainstream mode for youth and rock-n-rollers. This decade also saw the emergence of tie-dyeing and screen printing on basic shirts and t-shirts into a medium for usable art, commercial advertising, souvenir messages, and protest art messages. Psychedelic poster art designer Warren Dayton pioneered several large and colored political, protest, and pop art prints on T-shirts featuring Cesar Chavez, political cartoons and other cultural icons in an article in the Los Angeles Times. magazine at the end of 1969 (ironically, the clothing company quickly canceled the experimental trail, fearing there would be no market). In the late 1960s, Richard Ellman, Robert Tree, Bill Kelly, and Stanley Mouse founded the Monster Company in Mill Valley, California, to produce art designs firmly for T-shirts. Monster T-shirts often feature emblems and motifs related to Grateful Dead and marijuana cultures. In addition, one of the most popular symbols that emerged from the political turmoil of the 1960s was a T-shirt that confronted revolutionary revolutionary Che Guevara's face.
Today, many of the famous and impressive shirts produced in the 1970s have become entangled in pop culture. Examples include bright yellow T-shirts, The Rolling Stones has the "tongue and lip" logo, and the "I N Y" icon by Milton Glaser. In the mid-1980s, white T-shirts became fashionable after actor Don Johnson wore them with Armani suits at Miami Vice.
Screen printing
The most common form of commercial shirt decoration is screen printing. In screen printing, the design is separated into individual colors. Plastisol or water-based inks are applied to t-shirts via mesh filters that limit the area in which the ink is stored. In most commercial T-shirt printing, specific colors in the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum with limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulation process (using only white, black, red, green, blue and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is perfect for light-colored shirts. The simulation process is best suited for dark t-shirts.
In 1959, the discovery of plastisol gave a more durable and elastic ink than water-based inks, which allowed for more variation in the T-shirt design. Very few companies continue to use water-based ink on their shirts. The majority of companies that make T-shirts prefer plastisol because of the ability to print on a variety of colors without the need to adjust color at the art level.
Special ink trends come in and out of fashion and include shinoff, puff, debit, and chino based ink. Metal foil can be pressed with heat and stamped onto plastisol ink. When combined with shimmer ink, metallics gives a mirror-like effect wherever previously filtered plastisol ink is applied. Special inks are more expensive to buy as well as screen and tend to appear on clothing in boutiques.
Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique, embroidered, impressed or embossed, and ironing either from letters, heat transfer, or dye-sublimation transfers. The laser printer can print on plain paper using a special toner containing sublimation dye which can then be permanently transferred to the T-shirt.
In the 1980s, thermochromatic dyes were used to produce colored T-shirts when they were hot. Global Hypercolour This brand is a common sight in the UK streets for several years, but has since largely disappeared. It is also very popular in the United States among teenagers in the late 1980s. The disadvantage of color change clothes is that dyes can be easily damaged, especially by washing in warm water, or dyeing other clothes during washing.
Color ties
Tie dye came from India, Japan, Jamaica, and Africa in the early sixth century. Some forms of tie dye are Bandhani (the oldest known technique) used in Indian culture, and Shibori is mainly used in Japanese culture. New in the 1960s a dye tie was introduced to America during the hippie movement, during the Vietnam War being protested.
Vinyl heat transfer
Another form of T-shirt decoration is the heat transfer of vinyls. It allows people to make short runs of shirts that are printed using vinyl plotter which they can tap heat into the garment. They are made in many colors, patterns, and styles.
Also as a home craft tool is now available, social media has enabled the manufacture of bespoke designs including phrases and images.
Other methods
Before the hippie movement, Rit Dye was known as a hobby for older women. Other methods to decorate shirts include using paints, markers, fabric transfer crayons, dyes, spray paint, and more. Some of the techniques that can be used include sponging, stenciling, stamping, stamping, screen printing, bleaching, and more. As technology advances, it offers more experimentation and possibilities for designers and artists to find innovative techniques with their T-shirts. Rumplo, a site founded by Sahadeva Hammari, a startup t-shirt site used to design and carry more than 13,000 T-shirts. Their designs use some futuristic techniques, such as glowing ink in the dark, heat-sensitive fabrics, foil printing to thorough printing. Designers such as Robert Geller, the German-born American fashion designer, came out of the secondary collection, Seconds featuring the oversized graphic shirts made of super jersey. Alexander Wang, on the other hand, came out with a variety of t-shirts from a large-sized neck spoon, tanks to stripes, a dirty rayon shirt. Artists like Terence Koh, taking a different approach, with a t-shirt featuring an upside-down portrait with the original bullet hand hammer completed by it for the Soho Store Opening Ceremony.
Dye-sublimation printing
Sublimation dye printing is a direct-to-garment digital printing technology that uses full-color artwork to transfer images to polyester and polymer-coated fiber-based substrate. Dye-sublimation (also commonly referred to as thorough printing) began to be used extensively in the 21st century, enabling some previously unlikely designs. Printing with unlimited color using a large CMYK printer with special paper and ink is possible, unlike screen printing that requires a screen for every design color. All-over print T-shirts have solved problems with waning colors and zeal higher than most standard printing methods, but require synthetic fabrics for ink to hold. The main feature of clothing sublimated with color is that the design is not printed on the garment, but permanently immersed in the yarn of the shirt, ensuring that it will never fade.
Sublimation of dyes is economically feasible for small quantity printing; unit costs are similar for short or long term production. Screen printing has a higher setup cost, requiring large quantities to be manufactured to be cost effective, and unit costs higher.
Solid ink is converted into gas without passing through the liquid phase (sublimation), using heat and pressure. This design was first produced in computer image file formats such as jpg, gif, png, or others. These are printed on specially crafted computer printers (by 2016 most common Epson or Ricoh brands) using great heat suppression to vaporize the ink directly into the fabric. By mid-2012, this method has been widely used for T-shirts.
Expressive messages
Since the 1980s, T-shirts have evolved as a form of personal expression. T-shirts printed on-screen have been the standard form of marketing for major consumer products of America, such as Coca-Cola and Mickey Mouse, since the 1970s. It is also commonly used to commemorate an event, or to make a political or personal statement. Since the 1990s, it has become common practice for companies of all sizes to produce T-shirts with their company logo or message as part of their overall advertising campaign. Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent designer-name logos have become popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These clothes allow consumers to showcase the tastes of designer brands in a cheap way, as well as decoration. Examples of T-shirt brand designers include Calvin Klein, FUBU, Ralph Lauren, American Apparel, and The Gap. These examples also include the representation of rock bands, among other obscure pop-culture references. Licensed t-shirts are also very popular. Movie and TV T-shirts can have pictures of actors, logos, and funny excerpts from movies or TV shows. Often, the most popular T-shirts are those that use the characters in the movie itself (for example, Bubba Gump from Forrest Gump and Vote For Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite).
Designer Katharine Hamnett, in the early 1980s, pioneered a large shirt with great slogans. The first decade of early 21st century sees the popularity of new T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong tendency to humor and/or ironic. This trend has only increased in this decade, embraced by celebrities, such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, and reflected back on them, as well ('Aniston Team'). The political and social statements that T-shirts often present have, since the first decade of the 21st century, one of the reasons that they have so deeply penetrated different levels of culture and society. They can also be considered offensive, shocking, or pornographic to some people. Examples of shops and T-Shirt designers are known for using offensive and surprising messages including Hell T-Shirt and Apollo Braun. Many different organizations have followed the trend of making statements, including chains and independent stores, websites, and schools.
The popular phrase on the front of a T-shirt that demonstrates the popularity of T-shirts among tourists is the humorous phrase "I do _____ and all I get is this ugly T-shirt." Examples include "My parents went to Las Vegas and all I got was this ugly T-shirt." T-shirt exchange is an activity in which people trade their t-shirts.
Artists like Bill Beckley, Glen Baldridge, and Peter Klashorst use T-shirts in their work. Models such as Victoria Beckham and Gisele Bundchen wearing T-shirts through the 2000s. Paris Fashion Week 2014 features grunge-style T-shirts. Contemporary T-shirt designers such as Balmain and Street People Atelier produce a new style of T-shirt.
World record

The record was sought on stage in front of a crowd in a public park in Colombo. The airport surpassed previous record holder record Hwang Kwanghee of South Korea, which holds the record at 252 shirts.
