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.

Where did that name originate anyway?

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.



He knew he was as good as gone, but gone was somewhere he really didn't mind going to.
Since his shuttle had crashed, many years had passed, and the pictures of his loved ones that he drew on the walls of the cave
had finally faded.
He put out his smoke, proceeded towards the lake, repeating to himself,
everything beautiful is far away.

You know, I've wondered where it came from myself. I always assumed it was because every time they go to a domestic dispute on 'Cops', the guy always happens to be wearing one, but that's pure speculation.

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!

You could try a tight jacket for the Bruce Lee look.

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.
