No one really knows when the first blank T-shirt was scribbled upon or artistically produced in one or more quantities,

but t-shirt popularity as outerwear was on the move long before professional athletic teams, corporations, and rock bands saw them as customized billboard advertisement vehicles.

Following are some fun questions and answers that may help you to learn more about the history of t-shirts, and why it is that the t-shirt still today,

 is growing in popularity among both young and old alike.

What's does the "T" refer to in "T-shirt?"


This reference is made only to that of the shape of a t-shirt. When the t-shirt is stretched out.. or rather laid flat.. it's form has a natural "T" shape.





Can history show that the t-shirt of today was
a descendent of the Egyptian Tunic?


 It appears that the Egyptian Tunic may have had characteristics akin to our modern day t-shirt, and may have been used by Egyptian farmers, or fellaheen, hundreds of years before the First Dynasty.

With over 2000 tombs Tarkhan is one of the most important cemeteries from the time of state formation (about 3000 BC) in Egypt. It was from this site that one of the first Egyptian Tunics was discovered.

Due to the heat.. many ancient Egyptians wore clothes that were very thin and light. The Egyptian people made most of their clothes out of flax which they could turn into linen. The design and use of the Egyptian Tunic like the cotton t-shirt of today, was a simple constructed "T-shape slip-on" garment piece.
