A T-shirt (or tee shirt , or tee ) is a style of unisex fabric shirt , named after the T shape of the body and sleeves. It is normally associated with short sleeves, a round neck line known as a crew neck , with no collar. Typically made of cotton textile in a jersey knit , it has a distinctively pliable texture compared to shirts made of woven cloth.
