message: This is the better article to merge into, because it is about the article of clothing, rather than a specific terminology for it.  The specific terms can redirect to this page, and any issues regarding those specific terms can be put into sections on this page. Kcumming 02:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: All of these terms seem very contentious.  After reading the discussion at the Wifebeater (shirt) article and here I can't help feeling that all of these articles are too US-centric.  I have never heard the term wifebeater used to describe clothing in Australia and although manufacturers might call some of these articles A-shirts no one here would know what they were talking about.
To me there is also a big difference between a singlet (which originally was an undergarment only, has narrow stips of material going over the shoulders and a low neck) and a sleeveless t-shirt (which is exactly that - a t-shirt without sleeves).  Singlets are also called tank tops in Australia, but the name has a somewhat outdated 70s feel to it.

replies: text: For the section entitled "A-shirt", I'd vote for changing that to "tank top" seeing that term is recognised internationally by English speaking people for the style that section describes, whereas "A-shirt" is certainly not.OzoneO (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion reigns 

message: There seem to be three definitions here: the one worn under a shirt, the one worn as a shirt and the one worn over a shirt.  I've occasionally come across the term used here in Britain to mean the one worn as a shirt, though it probably isn't very common.  Indeed, I don't think it's overly common under any meaning here and now.  And I don't think I've heard before of "tank top" used anywhere to mean the undergarment.
I think we may need some clearer viewpoints, both British and American.  No doubt some of you out there have good first-hand experiences of the term and could clarify what you understand by it.... -- Smjg 11:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tank top, AmE vs BrE 

message: There is an increasingly popular style of sleeveless shirt referred to here as a "squared muscle tank" (it is visible better if you select white).  I think there is another name for them, but I can't find it.  It has *thick* shoulder straps and is squared off on the neckline and on the back.  Anyone familliar with this? --Kidd Loris 15:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Can't we find one that is better than either of the two? It should be white, high quality, and tight. Someone get a friend to take a picture of them in one (I'm a female, so I don't think it will have the same effect if I did it of myself). нмŵוτнτ 04:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Which a-shirt photo? 

message: I notice there are two etymologies given for the term "A-shirt": one, in the opening section, claims that the shirt "resembles the letter A" when laid flat; the other, in the section "A-Shirt", claims that it is short for "athletic shirt". I have no idea which is true (if either). I think the discrepancy should be at least noted, if not resolved.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ktkeith (talk • contribs) 20:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which A-shirt etymology? 

message: Is there any difference between an I-shirt and a shooter shirt? I can't seem to find any evidence of the term "I-shirt" being used to describe what is in this article. Paulish (talk) 22:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  I-Shirt vs. Shooter shirt

message: Greetings,
I think this article needs to make a bigger difference between the an "A-shirt" or mens' tank top as an undershirt an as a sports jersey. White, ribbed-cotton A-shirts are intended to be worn as an undergarment and is a sign of "low" or no class to be worn in public as the main shirt. On the other hand, NBA-type jerseys are colored, made of material other than cotton, not ribbed, and made to be worn in sporting events such as basketball, track, etc. If someone said "wifebeater" it is referring to the white undershirt, not to the sportswear.76.17.118.157 (talk) 05:32, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Undershirt vs. Jersey

message: At the very least, the primary sub-categories used in this article should be terms recognized in the media and used in stores.
Terms such as "wifebeater," "shooter shirt," etc. should only be used as alternate designations.
I have already deleted a lot of the "non-sense." What is an I-shirt? No citations. A "cutoff shirt" could be a T-shirt with the lower part cut off, exposing the navel. Therefore, it's not a real category, so I deleted that too. The act of cutting is usually something done informally...do we see stores selling "cutoff" shirts?76.17.118.157 (talk) 06:29, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Greetings,
All the photos show primarily female garments except one (the man in the white A-shirt). A second photo, showing a sleeveless T-shirt/muscle shirt, would be useful.Ryoung122 06:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sleeveless T-shirt/muscle shirt needs a photo

message: Most of this article is just a description of various wear. A history section that includes evolving uses, benefits, social acceptance (or not), and problems (as mentioned, A-shirts as undershirts don't give as much stain protection as T-shirts do) is needed. References are needed as well (I already provided one above).
There might be a need to split this article into a womens" section and mens' section.Ryoung122 06:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
