I was chilling at my desk, totally in the zone, when out of nowhere, a coworker dropped the bomb Reading is Gay T-Shirt . “Wife beater singlets are the best option for custom printing; what do you suggest?” and I’d be like, “Wait…. what?????” What did you just say; Wiii…What Singlets??? Damn! Cue my jaw hitting the floor. I felt creeped out as a woman. But instead of shrugging it off, I was oddly intrigued. So, I decided to become a researcher and find out: What’s the deal with this bizarrely sinister term? And so, driven by curiosity, I dive headfirst into the rabbit hole. In a world where trends rise and fall faster than a summer sunset, one odd clothing item stands the test of time – the infamous “wife beater” singlet. Modern peeps call it “Wife Pleaser Shirts”. While its origins and controversial history may have raised eyebrows, today’s generation has embraced it with a fresh twist, turning it into a canvas for creative custom printing. Many blame Marlon Brando‘s portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in the movie “A Streetcar Named Desire” as inspiration for the term “wife beater” for a singlet. Because in that movie, Stanley Kowalski rapes, yells, and rages his sister-in-law and hits his wife while wearing a sleeveless shirt. In Britain, “wife-beater” is sometimes used for Belgian beer Stella Artois, not the shirt.
Reading is Gay T-Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
Another hypothesis popular in the blogosphere is that a wife-beater was coined by a Detroit man who beat his wife to death in 1947 Reading is Gay T-Shirt . But this might be a myth as there’s no proof in news archives, other than some photos from 1947, showing a man wearing a stained A-shirt.However, the modern generation has reclaimed it, coining a new, more positive nickname – the “wife pleaser.” Connie Eble, linguist, University of North Carolina who studies American slang, conducted periodic surveys with her students for neologisms. She said that in 1995, a student submitted “wife-beater” referring to the shirt for the first time. After 2007, students stopped taking the term as something remarkable because it was already widely used, so they put an end to using it. Currently, the term is shortened to plain old “beater.” On the other hand, a newspaper article titled “An Undershirt Names … What?” in 2001 quoted an Oxford English Dictionary editor that the term was entered in the lexicon from rap, gang, and gay subcultures. Perhaps. Brian Smith at MEL Magazine said that the term “wife-beater” came into being from a Chicago-based clothing company named Cooper’s Inc. A businessman named Samuel T. Cooper founded that wool sock company, famous for introducing people to briefs in general. Before briefs, men used to wear long underwear, like union suits or long johns. Whatsoever, all these stories and hypotheses fail to uncover the reason behind it.

I bought this to purposefully be oversized so I order a size XL. It’s very comfortable and holds up well in the wash. It’s a conversation starter and always a big hit. I like to wear with my bicycle yoga shorts.

Nice shirts for the price
I am happy with the shirts, the are not so heavy and not so thin. the quality is good. I wear size M, but I was thinking to buy size L because most the reviews complaint about the shrinkage. anyhow, I decided to buy size M, when I got the shirts they were quite large for size M. after I washed and hot dried them, they shrink a bit, now they fit me very well. the only complaint is the color. i bought army green, but I was expecting a little bit more darker green. the army green I got is quite old, looks like Vietnam war green…
