Everyone has at least one T-shirt. It can be worn by both sexes. It can be worn as a top on its own, without more external layers, ensuring you aren\u2019t drenched in sweat every time you step into the sweltering Singaporean sun. Even if you don\u2019t purchase your T-shirt, relatives probably buy them for you as Christmas gifts, as it is the cheapest piece of clothing to gift to others.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While plain T-shirts are a common sight now, this was not always the case. The mundane-looking garment has a rich history. Here is a quick overview of how the T-shirt came to be the most remarkable fashion piece today.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is a T-shirt?<\/strong><br>A T-shirt is essentially a shirt that has short sleeves and a round neckline, without a collar. T-shirts were named after how their shape, which resembles the English letter \u2018T\u2019. They typically do not have buttons.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main two features that make a T-shirt such a mainstay in the modern fashion world is its light and inexpensive fabric (usually cotton), and the fact that it is easy to clean.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A brief history of the T-shirt<\/strong><br>When the T-shirt was first worn in the 1800s, they were essentially undergarments, much like the underwear you and I wear today. The shirt was intended to soak your sweat, not make you look fashionable. Back in the day, you would be expected to wear a dress shirt on top of your T-shirt, especially if you came from more wealthy backgrounds.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T-shirts were then worn as outerwear by miners and factory workers as they were convenient for covering the body in hot environments.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the early 1900s, workers of almost all industries began to wear T-shirts as innerwear while working. Young boys began to pick up the trend too, wearing T-shirts while partaking in physical activities. It was only in the 1960s that T-shirts began gaining popularity as forms of advertisement and self-expression. Printed T-shirts started becoming a staple in manufacturing.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>T-shirt printing<\/strong><br>One of the most common methods of commercial T-shirt printing, even today, is screen printing. When a T-shirt is screen printed, the shirt\u2019s design is separated according to individual colours, before the ink is applied through a mesh to create the print effect. Today, screen printing is still industry standard, though it is not the only way to have a T-shirt printed. Printing T-shirts in this modern day has never been easier. Manufacturing technologies have allowed customised designs of every colour to be printed on T-shirts. You can even decide the type of print and the material of T-shirt when you order a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/customprint.com.sg\/\">custom print t-shirt<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you submit an order to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/customprint.com.sg\/\">t-shirt printing service in singapore<\/a>, you can expect delivery within days, which makes custom T-shirts a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/customprint.com.sg\/5-occasions-to-get-a-custom-print-t-shirt\/\">great gift idea<\/a>&nbsp;for many people \u2013 you can even order the shirts in varying sizes; the printing cost is almost the same, as long as the size of your design remains consistent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A T-shirt is probably one of the most common pieces of clothing a Singaporean can own.
