A History of T-shirts

“The predecessor of the t-shirt was the “union suit”, a type of one-piece long underwear worn beneath clothing. In 1901, P.H. Hanes Knitting Company introduced two-piece men’s underwear for catalogue sale. The t-shirt got its big break during WWI in 1913 when the U.S. Navy issued a garment that featured short sleeves, a ‘crew’ neckline and a ‘T’-shape.” MORE ➲

About
dif4ent is an experiment. It's a collection of topical rotating wunderkammeresque distractions and delights. In other words, every month I'll choose four topics that I'd like to learn more about, or that I already find interesting and want to explore. Every weekday there will be a new post in each of the four topics. I decided to start it to give form and aim to my endless online wanderings. Plus I just like creating work for myself. So, I guess it's an online experiment in learning, linking, research and wasting time.
