The T-shirt started as underwear. In 1800s, men in the US Navy started to wear T-shirt under their
sweater. They had buttons and were made of flannel or wool.
In 1913, the US Navy adopted a cotton version of the T-shirt. It has short sleeves and a round neck. It
was in the form of “T”, that is why they are called T-shirt. And then soldiers of the US Army followed to
wear a cotton version because it dried more quickly and was more comfortable. In 1920s and 1930s, farm
and factory workers in the US started to wear them because they were cheaper and easier to wash.
During the Second World War 12 million American soldiers were in the uniform of T-shirts. They were
comfortable and protected the men against sunburn and insects, and could also be used as towels, pillows or
bandages.
After the war, they came home and brought their T-shirt home. Soon, men all social classes were wearing
them. Marlon Brando, an actor, wore it in 1951, followed by James Dean four years later. And then Elvis
Presley, a singer, wore them few years later, imitated by his fans. At that time you could only buy white T-
shirts. T-shirt also became popular in the music world. But as sign of rebellion, musicians’ T-shirts were
black.
In 1960s, the T-shirts became unisex. Women started to wear them as shirts, not underwear. In 1970s,
punk reacted and more ripped T-shirts. In 1980s, T-shirts became big and baggy. In 1990s, they became
fashionable.

seas.

sediment which forms the third part, the continental rise. The fourth is the floor of the sea beyond the
