Evolution of the Cotton Crew Neck T Shirt

The origin the Crew Neck Cotton T Shirt appears to be from 1913, designed as an undershirt for the US Navy. Europeans, however, also lay claim. Their contention is that during WWII the Americans saw the cotton crew tees that the Europeans would were under their wool uniforms. EIther way, let's say the crew t-shirts started as a functional garment, reserved for a small niche of the government.

Enter the sacrosanct coolness of James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, and Marlon Brando in A Street Car Named Desire, and On the Waterfront, and Boom, crew neck tee shirts became as fashionable as slap bracelets in the early 90s! Whether the boys were rolling up cigarettes in their sleeves, or simply rocking the white cotton crew neck tee with a pair of blue jeans, t-shirts were officially ON. See the beginning of School Ties for more information.

Following the informal Crew Boom of the 50s, the 60s and 70s would evolve the crewneck tee into a billboard for political quips and statements that ranged all over. The t shirt provided a platform to support a cause, a group, or an idea. Of course, this remains true today, isn't that right President Obama.

I'll just skip the 80s, a Tragedy for all clothing. Although I do remember some TV show that a few people liked, that featured a sports jacket over a colored crew neck t-shirt. What was that show??? Dallas? No. Anyway.

Today, the cotton crew neck t-shirt has evolved to reach it's pinnacle. No, not American Apparel. Perfection in a cotton crew t shirt can only be found one place. EgyptianCottonTshirts.com.

Fine Cotton T-Shirts

http://www.egyptiancottontshirts.com/c-2-100-cotton-crew-neck-t-shirts.aspx

“Fine” from the Latin ‘finis’ conveys the end, or limit. You’re search for a fine cotton t-shirt ends here, at EgyptianCottonTshirts.com. The 100% Egyptian Cotton Tees from ECT are certainly, unequivocally “Fine Cotton T-Shirts." Let’s see why.

The word “fine,” as I’m sure you’re aware, is widespread. A qualifier that would only lose in a popularity contest, perhaps, to “good,” or “nice.” “Fine,” typically casts a relatively vague description, but still manages to convey a quality of distinction. An adjective of high class perhaps, but certainly of top quality. The distinction impressed from this small word seems to be intrinsically defined by the particular noun that it modifies.

Fine china is fine because it is fragile in addition to being elegant and beautiful. So china that performs as it should, is pleasant to look at, projects an elegance, and breaks in any two year old’s hands within 5 seconds.

Fine wine should have good legs, good color, and shouldn’t leave your lips red after a couple of glasses. It probably shouldn’t come in a box either. [Taste may have something to do with it]

A fine woman, or man, to the individual who deems them so, is the most attractive, most inspiring, most desirable, and therefore most unattainable. If you find yourself deeming someone so, they should be avoided at all costs, as pain and trouble are more than likely. For more information, listen to “If You Want To Be Happy For the Rest of Your Life” by Jimmy Soul, Harry Belafonte, and the Coasters.

Now “fine" as a self referential modifier gets tricky. Anyone who says they’re “fine” may be at their “wit’s end” [I'm FINE!!] but they're most likely not at their pinnacle. They are at least distracted, but more often, their ‘fine’ is most synonymous with ‘adequate.’ So,”I’m fine” really means, “whatever.”

If you ask a significant other for approval of something, let’s say a t-shirt, and they respond “it’s fine,” chances are either that it really doesn’t look fine (which means it is Not an Egyptian Cotton Tee), or it could be that they don’t really care, which is probably because you forgot flowers, an anniversary, and/or that they got their hair cut that day.

A Fine T-Shirt has a comfort that gives the wearer a casual feeling, a look that is attractive, and a longstanding durability of color and softness. A cotton t-shirt that makes you feel good. These cotton t-shirts are fine!
