Who Invented the T-shirt? #Video

The t-shirt is the most universal piece of clothing today—casual, simple, and found in almost every wardrobe on Earth. But have you ever wondered who actually invented it? From its origins as underwear in the 19th century, to its official adoption by the U.S. Navy, to being immortalized by Hollywood icons like James Dean and Marlon Brando, the t-shirt has a surprisingly fascinating history. And did you know the first time it was called a “T-shirt” was in a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald?

In this video, we trace the story of how the t-shirt went from hidden undergarment to a global fashion staple, and uncover how practicality, culture, and even literature gave us the name we use today.

So the next time you throw on a t-shirt, you’ll know there’s a lot more behind that fabric than meets the eye.
