It was in 1947 when a gruesome crime story went viral, indirectly linking a violent husband to the sleeveless white undershirt Cats Books and Tea T-Shirt . A man named James Hartford Jr., hailing from Detroit, was arrested for brutally beating his wife to death. Across the country, readers were shocked by a widely circulated photo of Hartford wearing a stained undershirt, with the caption labelling him as “the wife-beater.” Around the same time, Hollywood played a role in reinforcing the connection between lower-class, brutish men and this type of undershirt. In the iconic play and subsequent film adaptation of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the character Stanley Kowalski, while wearing an undershirt, infamously shoves Blanche Dubois to the ground. Although the term “wife beater shirt” had not yet become widely used, the undershirt was associated with various slang names that carried additional stereotypes. It was often seen as a symbol of immigrant status, referencing Polish and Italian-American men. Slang names for the undershirt at this time included “guinea tee” and “dago tee,” which employed ethnic slurs to label the shirt as something worn by poor, marginalised individuals.

I Love kingteeshops
They fit me so well and they come in a variety of colors providing me with something different to wear every day. I order at least two pairs in different colors every week and I will continue to do so.

These cotton t-shirts have a nice feel to them.
I did NOT try them on before I washed them and my 2XL t-shirts fit perfectly, but I do believe they shrunk about 1/2 size from just looking at them but boy do they feel nice when you put them on!!
