They might even wear an undershirt under their T-shirt, and wonder what the difference is. In some cases, the difference is very minimal. As a matter of fact, is perfectly acceptable to wear a regular, outerwear T-shirt as an undershirt. Some people wear their older T-shirts or T-shirts that have been stained or that have holes in them as undershirts. This is an inexpensive source of undershirts, and it provides some coverage that many people prefer to have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There are some differences however, with some types of undershirts. T-shirts that are marketed as undershirts are often crew neck T-shirts that are made from a thinner material then many outerwear T-shirts. This provides you with a little extra coverage without adding too much bulk to your frame or making you feel overheated. In colder climates however, a regular T-shirt may be preferred as an undershirt. Or, a thick, ribbed shirt can be worn as an undershirt for extra warmth. Some people choose to wear a thick, long sleeve shirt under their over shirt. This type of undershirt is easy to tell from the typical T-shirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Some people choose undershirts that are shaped differently from most crew neck T-shirts. A V-neck T-shirt is a popular item to wear as an undershirt because the lower front means that it will not be visible under the over shirt. Many people like to leave a button unfastened to make their collar looser, and a V-neck undershirt means that they can do this and still keep their undershirt out of sight. It can also keep them a little cooler if they are worried about their undershirt making them too warm when paired with their over shirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A sleeveless shirt that is worn as an undershirt is often called an A-shirt. This shirt style is popular to wear under other shirts because it has no sleeves and often has a scoop neck to keep it out of sight. This means that it covers only the areas that the wearer wants extra coverage for and doesn’t add extra fabric in the form of sleeves. These look much different than the typical T-shirt and may be ribbed or have other texture to them that further makes them look different from a T-shirt. The thickness of A-shirts varies quite a bit along with the style of the shirt. Some are made from very thin fabric like other undershirts, and others are thicker and can help the wearer to stay warm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;An undershirt is generally not a shirt that most people would wear by themselves when going out in public. If you have a T-shirt that you wouldn’t consider wearing out in public, either because the shirt is in bad condition or because it is very thin, or perhaps because it has a sleeveless cut, that shirt is a good candidate to wear as an undershirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8141454087179001762-7605431258650389850?l=distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/feeds/7605431258650389850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/between-t-shirt-and-undershirt.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/7605431258650389850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/7605431258650389850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/between-t-shirt-and-undershirt.html' title='Between a T-Shirt and an Undershirt..'/><author><name>Julius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13768499363440988104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ci-ujG9HLYM/Sl8D8Cqt6FI/AAAAAAAAADg/tqXJf3Sz5fA/S220/DSC00022.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141454087179001762.post-4689327042098901916</id><published>2009-07-15T12:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T12:58:21.214-07:00</updated><title type='text'>When it is inappropriate to wear a T-shirt ....??</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;People have been spotted wearing t-shirts to Hollywood events, work, funerals and even weddings! There are no hard and fast rules which deem when it is inappropriate to wear a T-shirt, the decision lies with the individual. However, in deciding whether to wear a T-shirt or not you need to remember that clothing does have social significance. It is one of the first things that we notice when looking at others and people have a tendency to make assumptions about social class, wealth, occupation and personality based on what we are wearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The word inappropriate means unsuitable, out of place or badly chosen. Appropriate in contrast is something which seems right or fitting. If you care about the message you portray then the following list provides examples of when wearing a T-shirt is generally thought to be inappropriate. However, because fashion today is not carved in stone like in the 1800's some exceptions to these rules do apply: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;-A job interview-if you are being interviewed for a professional role than it is expected that you will wear business attire and T-shirt's do not qualify as this. You can certainly choose to stick to a T-shirt, but the likelihood of you getting the job will probably be quite slim. Yes, it is supposed to be about whether you have the right skills for the position, but the reality is people make judgments based on appearance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;*Exception to the rule-if you are going for quite a casual interview, perhaps where you will be asked to perform a trial shift or the likes then a T-shirt might be quite fitting. Just make sure it's a nice one because you should always wear something a little better to an interview then what you would actually wear to work on a day to day basis. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;-Religious ceremonies-some religious traditions dictate that a specific type of attire is worn and usually T-shirts do not fit this criterion. In addition many religious events have a socially prescribed dress code. For example, Sunday Mass is associated with wearing your "Sunday best". Times have changed and people don't tend to wear hats, gloves and waistcoats anymore, but in general they leave the T-shirts and jeans for other times in favor of something a little more formal. If you are attending a christening, confirmation or another ceremony then it's probably best to wear something a little dressier then a T-shirt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8141454087179001762-4689327042098901916?l=distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/feeds/4689327042098901916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-it-is-inappropriate-to-wear-t.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/4689327042098901916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/4689327042098901916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-it-is-inappropriate-to-wear-t.html' title='When it is inappropriate to wear a T-shirt ....??'/><author><name>Julius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13768499363440988104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ci-ujG9HLYM/Sl8D8Cqt6FI/AAAAAAAAADg/tqXJf3Sz5fA/S220/DSC00022.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141454087179001762.post-8650836478116980271</id><published>2009-07-15T12:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T13:05:25.255-07:00</updated><title type='text'>T Shirt nowadays</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Fashion will always change but luckily for fashion lovers all over the world, this change is most of the times a positive one. An important transformation that must not be overlooked is that of t-Shirts. Nowadays, t-shirts represent an important part of everyone’s wardrobe, be it men, women or children and they are still gaining ground due to the fact that they can be both elegant and incredibly comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody loves a good t-shirt and why not enjoy the endless possibilities that are on the market nowadays? T-shirts can be found at every &lt;a id="KonaLink3" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/internet-articles/eagle-apparel-bold-tshirts-as-fashion-statements-395143.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" &gt;clothes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; store and even at the online stores. If you want to choose some new t-shirts in the comfort and the privacy of your own home, it is probably a good idea to shop online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you consider the Eagle apparel, you should not think about only eagle imprinted T-shirts (original and sexy) but also other sorts of eagle items. &lt;a id="KonaLink2" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/internet-articles/eagle-apparel-bold-tshirts-as-fashion-statements-395143.html#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" &gt;Fashion &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0) ! important; font-weight: 400; position: static;font-family:Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" &gt;designers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; come up with all sorts of ideas in order to please customers and this is also the case with these t-shirts. Nowadays, t-shirts with eagle designs can be found in a variety of styles and colors, being practically impossible not to find something you like. However, it is important to figure out what colors suit you best and what type of t-shirt you like, before purchasing anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, do not be cheap when it comes to purchasing your t-shirts. Buy something that has a convenient price, but which will not tear apart after you have worn it once or twice. It is recommended to purchase your clothes from a professional store, for which quality is a must.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8141454087179001762-8650836478116980271?l=distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/feeds/8650836478116980271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/t-shirt-nowadays.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/8650836478116980271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8141454087179001762/posts/default/8650836478116980271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://distrotshirtsale.blogspot.com/2009/07/t-shirt-nowadays.html' title='T Shirt nowadays'/><author><name>Julius</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13768499363440988104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ci-ujG9HLYM/Sl8D8Cqt6FI/AAAAAAAAADg/tqXJf3Sz5fA/S220/DSC00022.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141454087179001762.post-8249052256545354771</id><published>2009-07-15T12:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T12:18:43.413-07:00</updated><title type='text'>did you know..???</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;T-shirt&lt;/b&gt; (or &lt;b&gt;tee shirt&lt;/b&gt;) is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirt" title="Shirt"&gt;shirt&lt;/a&gt; which is pulled on over the head to cover most of a person's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torso" title="Torso"&gt;torso&lt;/a&gt;. A T-shirt is usually buttonless, collarless, and pocketless, with a round neck and short sleeves. The sleeves of the T-shirt extend at least slightly over the shoulder but not completely over the elbow (in short-sleeve version). A shirt that is either longer or shorter than this ceases to be a T-shirt. T-shirts are typically made of cotton or polyester fibers (or a mix of the two), knitted together in a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_%28fabric%29" title="Jersey (fabric)"&gt;jersey stitch&lt;/a&gt; that gives a T-shirt its distinctive soft texture. T-shirts can be decorated with text and/or pictures, and are sometimes used to advertise (see &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_billboard" title="Human billboard"&gt;human billboard&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; T-shirt fashions include styles for men and women, and for all age groups, including baby, youth, and adult sizes. Many youths wear T-shirts; they are great protection from the sun and useful for all wears, but the main reason being the fashion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Trends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts. Now T-shirts are worn frequently as the only piece of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing" title="Clothing"&gt;clothing&lt;/a&gt; on the top half of the body, other than possibly a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassiere" title="Brassiere"&gt;bra&lt;/a&gt; or an undershirt (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vest" title="Vest"&gt;vest&lt;/a&gt;). T-shirts have also become a medium for self-expression and advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and even photographs on display.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_note-0"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A T-shirt typically extends to the waist. Variants of the T-shirt, like the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_top_%28shirt%29" title="Tank top (shirt)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;tank top&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-shirt" title="A-shirt" class="mw-redirect"&gt;A-shirt&lt;/a&gt; (with the nickname &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifebeater_%28shirt%29" title="Wifebeater (shirt)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;"wife beater"&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_shirt" title="Muscle shirt" class="mw-redirect"&gt;muscle shirt&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoop_neck" title="Scoop neck"&gt;scoop neck&lt;/a&gt;, and the V-neck have been developed. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_fashion" title="Hip hop fashion"&gt;Hip hop fashion&lt;/a&gt; calls for "tall-T" T-shirts which may extend down to the knees. A 1990s trend in women's clothing involved tight-fitting "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_top" title="Crop top"&gt;cropped&lt;/a&gt;" T-shirts that are short enough to reveal the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midriff" title="Midriff"&gt;midriff&lt;/a&gt;. Another popular trend is wearing a "long-sleeved T-shirt", then putting a short-sleeved T-shirt of a different color over the long-sleeved shirt; this is known as "layering".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;T-shirts are also very much used for cleaning up oil stains in your car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;decoration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In the early 1950s several companies based in Miami, Florida, started to decorate T-shirts with different resort names and various characters. The first company was Tropix Togs, under founder Sam Kantor, in Miami. They were the original licensce for Walt Disney characters that included Mickey Mouse and Davy Crockett. Later other companies expanded into the &lt;a href="http://www.tshirtpainter.com/" class="external text" title="http://www.tshirtpainter.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;T-shirt printing&lt;/a&gt; business that included Sherry Manufacturing Company also based in Miami. Sherry started in 1948 by its owner and founder Quinton Sandler as a screen print scarf business and evolved into one of the largest screen printed resort and licensed apparel companies in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In 1959, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastisol" title="Plastisol"&gt;plastisol&lt;/a&gt;, a more durable and stretchable ink, was invented, allowing much more variety in T-shirt designs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In the 1960s, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer_T-shirt" title="Ringer T-shirt"&gt;ringer T-shirt&lt;/a&gt; appeared and became a staple fashion for youth and rock-n-rollers. The decade also saw the emergence of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie-dye" title="Tie-dye"&gt;tie-dyeing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen-printing" title="Screen-printing"&gt;screen-printing&lt;/a&gt; on the basic T-shirt. In the late 1960s Richard Ellman, Robert Tree, Bill Kelly, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Mouse" title="Stanley Mouse"&gt;Stanley Mouse&lt;/a&gt; set up the Monster Company in Mill Valley, California, to produce fine art designs expressly for T-shirts. Monster T-shirts often feature emblems and motifs associated with the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_Dead" title="Grateful Dead"&gt;Grateful Dead&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana" title="Marijuana" class="mw-redirect"&gt;marijuana&lt;/a&gt; culture.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_note-1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;2&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The most common form of commercial T-shirt decoration is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen-printing" title="Screen-printing"&gt;screen-printing&lt;/a&gt;. In screen-printing, a design is separated into individual colors. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastisol" title="Plastisol"&gt;Plastisol&lt;/a&gt; or water based &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink" title="Ink"&gt;inks&lt;/a&gt; are applied to the shirt through mesh screens which limits the areas where ink is deposited. In most commercial T-shirt printing, the specific colors in the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum with a limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated process (using only white, black, red, green, blue, and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is best suited for light colored shirts. Simulated process is best suited for dark colored shirts. Very few companies continue to use water-based inks on their shirts. The majority of other companies that create shirts prefer to use plastisol due to the ability to print on varying colors without the need for color adjustment at the art level.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Specialty inks trend in and out of fashion and include; shimmer, puff, discharge and chino based inks. A metallic foil can be heat pressed and stamped onto any plastisol ink. When combined with shimmer ink, metallics give a mirror like effect wherever the previously screened plastisol ink was applied. Specialty inks are more expensive to purchase as well as screen and tend to appear on garments in boutiques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbrush" title="Airbrush"&gt;airbrush&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applique" title="Applique"&gt;applique&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embroidery" title="Embroidery"&gt;embroidery&lt;/a&gt;, impressing or embossing and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironing" title="Ironing"&gt;ironing&lt;/a&gt; on of either flock lettering, heat transfers, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation" title="Dye-sublimation" class="mw-redirect"&gt;dye-sublimation&lt;/a&gt; transfers. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printer" title="Laser printer"&gt;Laser printers&lt;/a&gt; are capable of printing on plain paper using a special &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toner" title="Toner"&gt;toner&lt;/a&gt; containing sublimation dyes which can then be permanently heat-transferred to T-shirts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In the 1980s, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromatic" title="Thermochromatic" class="mw-redirect"&gt;thermochromatic&lt;/a&gt; dyes were used to produce T-shirts that changed colour when subjected to heat. This brand of T-shirt, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercolor" title="Hypercolor"&gt;Global Hypercolour&lt;/a&gt;, was a common sight on the streets of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom"&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt; for a few years, but has since mostly disappeared. These were very popular in the United States as well in the late 80's among teens. A downside of color-change garments is that the dyes can easily be damaged, especially by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry" title="Laundry"&gt;washing&lt;/a&gt; in warm water, or dye other clothes during washing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;At the turn of the century, designing custom T-shirts online became more popular. Popular websites began to use digital printing (such as Direct to Garment or DTG printing) to allow customers to design their own T-shirts online with no minimum orders. In the beginning, DTG could not print well on dark garments; however, with the help of some online T-Shirt retailers, printer manufacturers such as T-Jet have all but perfected the process, providing consumers with many more printing options.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Expressive messages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Throughout the 1980s and ever since, T-shirts have flourished as a personal expression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent designer-name logos have become popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These garments allow consumers to flaunt their taste for designer brands in an inexpensive way, in addition to being decorative. Examples of designer T-shirt branding include &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Klein" title="Calvin Klein"&gt;Calvin Klein&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUBU" title="FUBU"&gt;FUBU&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Lauren" title="Ralph Lauren"&gt;Ralph Lauren&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gap_%28clothing_retailer%29" title="The Gap (clothing retailer)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;The Gap&lt;/a&gt;. These examples also include representations of rock bands, among other obscure pop-culture references.&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Screen printed T-shirts have been a standard form of product advertising for major consumer products, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-cola" title="Coca-cola" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Coca-cola&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse" title="Mickey Mouse"&gt;Mickey Mouse&lt;/a&gt;, since the 1970s. However, since the 1990s, it has become common practice for companies of all sizes to produce T-shirts with their corporate logos or messages as part of their overall &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising" title="Advertising"&gt;advertising&lt;/a&gt; campaigns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The early 2000s saw the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong inclination to the humorous and/or &lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Ironymens_01.jpg" class="internal" title="Ironymens 01.jpg"&gt;ironic&lt;/a&gt;. The trend has only increased later in this decade; embraced by celebrities, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney_Spears" title="Britney Spears"&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Hilton" title="Paris Hilton"&gt;Paris Hilton&lt;/a&gt;, and reflected back on them, too ('Team Aniston').&lt;sup class="noprint Template-Fact" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from October 2007" style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"&gt;citation needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The political and social statements that T-shirts often display have become, since the 2000s, one of the reasons that they have so deeply permeated different levels of culture and society.&lt;sup class="noprint Template-Fact" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from October 2007" style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"&gt;citation needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt; The statements also may be found to be offensive, shocking or pornographic to some. Many different organizations have caught on to the statement-making trend, including chain and independent stores, websites, and schools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A popular phrase on the front of T-shirts demonstrating T-shirts' popularity among tourists is the humorous phrase "I did _____ and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Examples include "I needlessly edited Wikipedia and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." and "My parents went to Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;T-shirt exchange is an activity where people trade their T-shirts they are wearing. Some designs specifically write on the shirt "trade with me".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;References&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="references-small"&gt; &lt;ol class="references"&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_ref-0"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Larsen" title="Sally Larsen"&gt;Sally Larsen&lt;/a&gt; with Neeli Cherkovski, &lt;i&gt;Japlish&lt;/i&gt;, Pomegranate Art Books, San Francisco, 1993, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/1566404541" class="internal"&gt;ISBN 1-56640-454-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_ref-1"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Monster T-SHIRT ART&lt;/i&gt;, Monster Corporation catalog #3, Mill Valley 1974&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_ref-2"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gafy.com" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gafy.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Online Companies Help Improve DTG Printing on Dark Garments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_ref-3"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Larsen" title="Sally Larsen"&gt;Sally Larsen&lt;/a&gt; with Neeli Cherkovski, &lt;i&gt;Japlish&lt;/i&gt;, Pomegranate Art Books, San Francisco, 1993, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/1566404541" class="internal"&gt;ISBN 1-56640-454-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="cite_note-poloshirt-4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shirt#cite_ref-poloshirt_4-0"&gt;^&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;cite style="font-style: normal;" class="web"&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/read_news/1179797239/438003114/Polyester_vs._Cotton.html" class="external text" title="http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/read_news/1179797239/438003114/Polyester_vs._Cotton.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Polyester vs. Cotton&lt;/a&gt;". www.polo-shirts.co.uk&lt;span class="printonly"&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/read_news/1179797239/438003114/Polyester_vs._Cotton.html" class="external free" title="http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/read_news/1179797239/438003114/Polyester_vs._Cotton.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.polo-shirts.co.uk/read_news/1179797239/438003114/Polyester_vs._Cotton.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="reference-accessdate"&gt;.
