Why Do We Call Them T-shirts?

A Simple Question With a Surprising Answer

Sometimes, the simplest questions are the ones that make us stop and think. The image asks: “My daughter asked me today what the ‘T’ in ‘T-shirt’ stands for. I had no answer! I’ve never thought about it. Any ideas?”

It is a funny and relatable question because most of us wear T-shirts all the time, but we rarely think about where the name comes from. We say the word naturally, buy them in stores, fold them after laundry, and wear them almost every

day. Yet many people have never asked themselves why it is called a “T-shirt.”
