Take one minute to think about your wardrobe. If you are a male between the ages of 18 to 30, there is a greater-than-average chance that the majority of your closet is dominated by t-shirts. Don't be ashamed of your massive collection. You fall right into a demographic of people who not only wear t-shirts, but also LOVE their tees. Comfortable, cheap, easy to clean, and fun are all apt descriptors for your collection. Why wouldn't you love your t-shirts?
The t-shirt is miraculous because it fills so many roles that would otherwise require many different pieces to create the one-man-show that is the humble tee. One of these many roles t-shirts fulfill is the need for an expendable outer garb for when the sleeves have to be rolled up (or cut off) and work has to get done. The "working t-shirt" will bear the markings of past battles with such enemies as bleach, mustard, and holes.
The most commonly seen type of t-shirt are the shirts that this breed of young men wear when going someplace where there might be attractive women. This is the "good t-shirt." The good t-shirt may be the only type of tee that is actually put away in a closet or folded in a drawer. This shirt will be clean and stain-free, and the owner will mislead himself into thinking that women will be impressed by it. It's not that the shirt isn't nice, it's just that no woman has ever been impressed by any t-shirts...this includes, of course, those Afflicted and Tapped apparel tees you see everywhere now.
The last type of most commonly-used t-shirt is the "night shirt". The night shirt is hardly ever worn, which makes it an anomaly of the t-shirt world. Sometimes the "night shirt" is a favorite shirt of an ex-girlfriend or one that the ex-girlfriend slept in when she stayed the evening. When the male drinks heavily, he will oftentimes remove the sacred "night shirt" from the closet to smell longingly.
If we were to delve deeper into this fictional man's closet, we would find another dozen types of shirt that fill multiple roles. This should prove as ample proof that the t-shirt is no mere garment, but rather a tool. Just like our ancestor cavemen, our evolution continues as we grow older. Jeans give way to slacks, and t-shirts give way to shirts that can be worn with (dare I say it?) a tie. So the next time you buy an old tee at a second-hand shop for a dollar, think about how priceless that shirt was to the young man who wore it first.
