The Invention of a Plain White T

T-shirts here! T-shirts there! T-shirts EVERYWHERE!


Have you ever thought about the t-shirt? I mean, they're everywhere. Hot Topic is basically shirt city. Seriously. We can get them with any phrase or picture we want. 

We even shoot them out of guns at sporting events and concerts. 

But where did t-shirts come from? And what do they have to do with family history?

Well....

My first thought when I read this was "aww!!" I can just picture these adorable bachelors, working hard in the city, trying to impress a lady friend. 
Now that you have this useful little bit of info compare the date 1904 to your family tree and see which of your ancestors may have been the first to wear that snappy new invention *cue exciting ragtime music* the t-shirt! 

Happy Hunting!
