The T-shirt is not only the most universally recognized garment but often also a true manifestation of style, a way to transfer a message or a distinctive feature to recognize ourselves. In some cases, a T-shirt can become a real cult object: think of how much an original garment by Marlon Brando or James Dean could be worth! Their white T-shirts have made history, but who doesn’t remember Happy Days and the legendary Fonzie with his leather jacket on the ever-present T-shirt?

We too have not resisted the charm of the T-shirt, dedicating ourselves and having fun designing original and fun T-shirts to wear or give to friends and special people. Here are some of the t-shirts that you can find on our online store Mypepy at the address

But how did the T-Shirt come about? As told by the New York Times

it was launched back in 1904 by the Cooper Underwear Company as a “single” man’s garment, which did not require buttons or sewing skills, let alone clothes pins for closure. So much so that the U.S. Navy itself saw the potential and adopted it in 1913 for its sailors who began wearing buttonless undershirts. But the name T-shirt, which well represents the shape of the garment appeared in 1920 in F Scott Fitzgerald’s “This Side of Paradise” to be definitively consecrated with its entry into the Merriam-Webster vocabulary.

Today it is estimated that 95% of Americans today wear a T-shirt!!!!
