Tuxedo Tee Shirt – A Brief History
Don’t you just love when you go out somewhere and you see somebody wearing the infamous tuxedo tee shirt? You
will see people wearing them all over the place, from bachelor parties, to giving them as gag gifts, and even
on the beach! The truth is though, that not too many people know much of the history of the tee shirt, most
specifically the tuxedo tee shirt.
It is not too easy to tell exactly when and where tee shirts originated. Some archaeologists say that the
soldiers of Rome would wear a pseudo-tee shirt as an undergarment to their main gear. The Germans and French
of World War I have also worn an undergarment that resembled the tee shirt.
It would be safe to say that Americans got the idea of the tee shirt from the British Navy who are speculated
to have been wearing tee shirts since the last decade of the 1800s. In his 1920 novel, This Side Of Paradise,
F. Scott Fitzgerald mentions a “sweater or t-shirt”. The term t-shirt later appeared in the American
Webster’s dictionary by the end of that decade.
Since then, the t-shirt industry has grown tremendously, with the Wizard Of Oz tee shirts in 1939, to the
“Dew It For Dewey” political tee shirts in 1948. Then, the tee shirt was popularized in Marlon Brando’s 1951
film “A Streetcar Named Desire” and James Deans’ 1955 flick “Rebel Without A Cause”.
Along with tie die tees and Beatles tees, the tuxedo tee shirt came out in the 1960s. People would wear them
all over the place all the time for any occasion: weddings, Halloween, even some famous rappers wore them.
The tuxedo tee shirt is almost 50 years old, and their popularity has never ceased – you will still see
people wearing them everywhere you go. There are even variations now on the original tuxedo tee shirt:
classic, famous, rhinestone, ladies, various colors, and even tuxedo tee shirt for babies!
