The White T
By Alice Harris
Introduction by Giorgio Armani


From the first Hanes version sold in the 1930s for twenty-four cents to its formation into the ultimate cool (not to mention sexy) when worn by James Dean, Elvis Presley, and Marlon Brando, the white T has become part of our culture. Whether tie dyed, stamped with a slogan or icon, torn, slashed, or designed, these shirts make a statement , and everyone from presidents to rock stars, bikers to bankers, babies to baby boomers, has at least one white T.
