Why do we call them T-shirts?

 

 

Kids ask all sorts of questions, many of which catch adults off guard. It’s not that the questions are difficult, but because they are so simple that most of us haven’t even thought about asking them.

A parent shared a funny moment online of their daughter wondering what the “T” in “T-shirt” stands for. The parent admitted they had no idea, and honestly, most people don’t know the answer either. So, have you ever though about this word?

Most of us wear T-shirts daily since it’s one of the most common pieces of clothing anywhere in the world. We sleep in them, exercise in them, wear them to school, at work, to the store, you name it. Yet most of us never stop to think about why they are called T-shirts in the first place.

The answer to this question may surprise you because it’s incredibly simple.
