The Cotton T-Shirt Trivia
Did you know that the cotton t-shirt is originally considered an underwear?
It was brought home from France by the Doughboys after World War I. It was popularised by James Dean when he wore it in his movie, Rebel Without A Cause — becoming the statement of youthful rebellion.
When the 60s rolled around, T-shirts were then adopted as personal billboards for slogans, brands, art that define the thought or cause that the wearer, young or old, support.
Cool bit of info, don’t you think?

I like the random bit of trivia you have here — it gives me more to take than just: wow, that’s pretty. Although pretty is just fine. :) I love the pieces you highlight.
