Best Answer

The word T-shirt made its way in the Merriam-Webster dictionary around 1920 and was named so for the shape of its outline. During the Great Depression, ranch and farm workers often defaulted to the T-shirt when conditions called for more comfortable attire, since it was considered inappropriate to show the naked torso.

A t-shirt with a silkscreen image can be ironed inside-out so that when the hot iron is placed on the image, the image does not melt or come away from the t-shirt. The iron is turned low and the iron is very lightly pressed on the t-shirt, moving slowly and smoothly across the t-shirt.
