A T-shirt is called a T-shirt as it looks like a T!

ite for the letter T which the original T shirt looked like when laid flat, as the arms came out straight from the shoulders of the shirt.

Yes, it refers to the shape although just about anything passes as a T-shirt these days.

The 'T' in t'shirt stands for the shape of the shirt, the navy started the trend off for wearing t'shirts and then they were introduced into the army uniform too.

Because the shirt is T in shape.

I to thought that it was the shape of the t-shirt that gave it it's name. Unless of course it was first invented in Tyne Tees?

I always thought it was because of the 'T' shape of the shirt

It's actually short for tee shirt. But why they call it "tee", I have no clue. Maybe because it is basic and light. I'm just guessing.

It is short for Tee and pertains to the shape of the garment.

Because if you lie one out flat it forms the shape of a letter T. I think?
