Thread: Tailors: You Should Petition To Be Able To Make Wifebeaters
I think many people would buy them. I can't wear mine since the shirtless patch.
thanks
Lovely name for the item. Ever heard the term 'Sleevless Undershirt?' On that rude comentary alone I say thumbs down to that request.
You want a sleevless shirt? Get an amorsmtih to make you an Ubeese shirt.

According to a study at Berkeley - The sterotypewasthat these were primarily worn by alcoholics & others too poor to wear outer shirts. The stereotypical American vision of an alcoholic is/was someone in a T-shirt who beats their wife.
It also fell out of favor around 1979 or so when the Village people began wearing them on a regular basis.
Then picked up again after the show "COPS" 10 years later.

Kid rock.
The ethical and etymological digressions aside, I think the request is a good one. Let us make "sleeveless undershirts" like before in the full colour palette please!
Smi
geez, real nice. yeah, maybe we can do a joint petition with IDs- wifebeaters for us, molester moustaches for them.
if the the thing you used to wear on your chest before, when you tried to where nothing, that you are talking about.
Over here they call them Singlets or Singlet tops.
