No one, says Fresener, really knows when the first T-shirt was produced. But the U.S. Navy adopted a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt as issue to be worn under a jumper as early as 1913. The purpose: to cover sailors' chest hairs. It wasn't until the late 1930s that companies including Hanes, Sears & Roebuck, and Fruit of the Loom earnestly started to market the T-shirt.
You can read more on it at this web site.
Happy reading!

T-shirt history
The idea of the T-shirt came to the USA during WWI when US soldiers noticed the light cotton undershirts European soldiers
were using while the US soldiers sweated in their wool uniforms. Since they were so much more comfortable they quickly became
popular among the Americans, and because of their design they got the name T-shirt. During WWII the T-shirt had become
standard issue underwear in both the U.S. Army and Navy.
After WWII the T-shirt started appearing without a shirt covering it. John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean all wore them
on national TV. At first the public was shocked but by 1955 it had become acceptable. The T-shirt became cool when James
Dean wore it in the film Rebel Without a Cause
