Sometimes a t-shirt can be too good, it seems according a recent survey that 4 out of 5 Americans hold on to at least a couple of their favourite tees for donkey’s years. I’ll show you the graph soon in case you want to get technical, but rest assured, science aside, this is a well known fact.
I know from personal experience exactly what t-shirt obsession can mean, as do a lot of t-shirt bloggers, designers and fans in general, the funny thing I’ve noticed with myself and friends with a similar penchant for tees, is your fave shirts aren’t necessarily your best ones.
As one designer recently told me they’ve been wearing their old High School tee on and off for years, I used to wear a couple of rather corny Marvel Comics tees until they practically died on me, I remember in my late teens wearing a particularly groovy Indian t-shirt I picked up dirt cheap at a flea market so many times, that I had a mini-depression when it finally fell to pieces in the wash.
I’ve always wondered about the psychology of t-shirt obsession, not the usual kind, those who collect them by the hundreds, or those (like myself) who can’t help writing about them, but rather the strange attachment one can form towards one single tee. Perhaps it’s an associative effect, for instance, maybe you pick up a t-shirt the day you fall in love, or on a great holiday, or some other happy memory that subconsciously you attach to the t-shirt in question. read more
