If it makes the owner's "favorite T-shirt list" makes it to the top of the clean pile and never left behind!
This post is from one of those lucky shirts.
The "T-shirt": "Silhouette"
She pairs perfectly with worn in jeans, just enough fit to draw attention (every good t-shirt knows they have to be paired with great jeans!), her owner's white skirt for a day on the beach or old pair of board shorts for the numerous boat trips she goes on.
Prefers her owner to wear flip flops, likes how her trim fit flatters and loves how the sun gives her a natural fade compared to those other shirts who rely on chemicals to get their "vintage look".
Was made in LA, California and lives to be on or near the water.
Current travels include Hyannis, MA, Mystic, CT, Fort Myers Beach, FL (the prettiest shirt on the beach!) and recently spent a week in Newport,RI and excited to get back there soon (like... next week!)
She prefers organic non-toxic detergent, has a preference for a tumble in the dryer (not in the same load as the jeans please.) However, she supports keeping a low carbon profile and will hang dry with no complaints.
Her owner:
A Sailor. Who moonlights as a mini-golf reigning champion (as long as no one is keeping score...)
It is our pleasure to share with readers today, "Silhoutte"
"Hello! This is so exciting, thank you, thank you to all those t-shirt fans in the world for making this day possible.
How many of you know we've been around since the late 1800's as a form of underwear? SO NOT meant for people to see but as a layer to be worn hidden under a men's dress shirt or military uniform. How the world has changed. I am always dismayed when my owner dares to cover me, would rather be left in the bag for a warmer day then worn "under" something!
Did you know our title (word) "T-Shirt" became an official member of the English language in the 1920's after WWI? Our American troops had enough with the hot and humid summer days while the European soldiers were wearing their nice comfy cotton undershirts! By WWII both the Navy and Army included us in their standard issue underwear. Still hidden but who doesn't love a man in uniform?!?
Our real coming out was due to the handsome delights of John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean and by 1955 we were allowed to be worn uncovered for all too see! We gained real "style" in the 1960's with printing and dying, Americans also became creative with altering our physical style. For the record, I really enjoy my classical lines.
The public has really made us who we are and I am incredibly proud to be a "T-Shirt". Thank you to SailFast for making me a member of their team and to my owner for her gentle care and frequent use.
Was a pleasure to be here today and delighted at the prospect of more reports from the "T-shirt's perspective" of the sailing lifestyle. Rumor has it I will be returning to Newport for the start of the famed Newport to Bermuda. Let's hope the weather calls for T's and Flips!"
