Print history

“The T-shirt came about thanks to single men and women who cannot sew” – this was the slogan of some foreign companies that produced this wardrobe item at the beginning of the 20th century. However, the leading role in the popularization of this element of clothing was played not by laziness, but by business flair: entrepreneurs presented to consumers clothes that are easy to put on, wash and repair, they do not need to be fastened with buttons or zippers and, accordingly, sewn on them (bonus for bachelors!). and in which case – and not a pity to throw it away, because it is inexpensive. The novelty was originally intended for working-class consumers. But already in the first half of the 20th century, the US military also appreciated the practicality and cheapness of the T-shirt.

Men's T-shirts with a print appeared after the end of World War II, but the classic white version dominated wardrobes until the late 50s of the last century. During the same period, Life magazine published a sailor in a printed shirt on its cover. This event paved the way for such a striking wardrobe item in the cinema.

Colored T-shirts with images have become a part of the daily life of millions of men, consolidated their positions in some musical directions, formed part of the uniform of athletes and even turned into billboards.

Cotton fabric has good hygroscopicity – it is easily breathable and absorbs sweat. A pattern of any complexity can be applied to cotton T-shirts. Colors on a cotton T-shirt do not fade for a long time, retaining brightness for years. The material is suitable for daily wear, it is easy to care for, it is easy to wash and iron.

Polyester is most commonly used in sports T-shirts. Clothing made of such fabric retains its color for a long time, does not require ironing, is easily washed, does not wrinkle. These T-shirts differ in that during physical activity (running, walking, cycling), the material begins to actively release moisture, so it does not stick to the body, but it is comfortable to move in it. Polyester allows you to create seamless patterns, as well as print logos that retain brightness and clarity for a long time.

Combined fabrics on domestic shelves are not uncommon. Most often, manufacturers add synthetic fibers to cotton, which not only make the thing cheaper, but also give it durability and resistance to fading.
