    The 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!

    Why you should wear a Tuxedo Tee-Shirt

    Be the life of the party! Don't get caught without your formal attire. The perfect look for weddings, parties, bowling or any other prestigious event that might pop up.

    A classy, screen printed t-shirt, designed to look exactly like a tuxedo! Right down to rose printed on the lapel...It's perfect for a gag,or to wear when you have to dress up semi-formal to go somewhere, and don't want to wear the monkey suit! You'll fit right in with this, get some laughs, and still not look out of place. If you are having a wedding, or second or third wedding, why not outfit the whole wedding party in these? They are great to wear in warm climates, where the real tuxedo is TOO HOT, TOO FORMAL, and maybe that's not your style. They are great for second weddings, tux and tennies parties, or beach formal wear. They are printed on only the highest quality, USA brand, 100% cotton preshrunk shirts, like Hanes Beefy-Ts, or Heavyweight Fruit of the Loom.
