No one is certain how the t-shirt got its name but some say it was due to its T shape when laid flat.

Another theory is that the t-shirt was named after the army training shirt which was later shortened to t-shirt. Some people also say that the TEE comes from amputee making reference to the shortened length of the arms which is the t-shirt we know today.

T shirts were originally worn as undershirts but they became so popular that people saw the humble t-shirt as a fashion item and began wearing them on the outside.

Why did the t-shirt become so popular, once again there are many theories, comfort, light to wear, the rebel youth looking for something different to what dad wears.

Today the t-shirt is the world.s biggest selling item of clothing and you can buy t-shirts anywhere from $2.00 up to $200.00 and more. T-shirts are the one item that spans all sex, cultures and age groups.

There is such a huge selection of t-shirts to suit everyone's personality, you can even custom design your own t-shirt as a special one off design.

T-shirts can be screen printed, digitally printed, dye sublimated, embroidered, heat transfers can be applied to t-shirts, there are new printing processes evolving all the time to meet the demands of the t-shirt wearer.

There are many websites devoted just to t-shirts, from religious t-shirts to very clever sayings or images t-shirts and everything in between.

The biggest growth we see is in custom t-shirts where people can express their true feelings by custom designing their very own t-shirt or they can custom design a t-shirt for a gift, bucks night, hens night, fun run or a promotional event, with the advent of direct to garment digital printing custom t-shirts have now become very affordable.

Where does the t-shirt go from here, who knows it is up to your imagination?
