The tee – the very basic of all garments for all ages, all sizes, and all colors of people! Isn’t the tee really the most democratic of all clothing? Where did this T shirt actually come from? How far has did it travel till it became the king of the street, or messiah of urban wear?

Most of us are not even aware that this symbol of street wear chic evolved from undergarments in the 19th century, and later became a popular in the United States when they were issued by the US Navy during the Spanish American war.

Since the 1980s, t-shirts have emerged as a symbol of self-expression. Designer Katherine Hamnett first pioneered tall tees with large print slogans. From then on, it has been a journey of pride with tees establishing themselves firmly as urban youth icons, with urban tees blazing messages of the youth for all to see. The style preferences of the youth are very much on display, with hip-hop tees flaunting images of immortal gangsta rap and hip-hop artists. What’s more, these urban tees are constantly evolving, with newer icons taking the place of older ones, or more socially relevant and irreverent messages taking the front place.

The designs of these urban tees may be constantly changing, but the inspiration for the change comes completely from the streets or from life on the streets. Just like life on the streets is a mix of music, dance, sports, ambitions, angst, and desires, so also the urban tee. It represents all that is real, tangible, and unspoken on the street. For the urban youngster, the hip-hop artist, or the hip-hop fan, looking the part is essential, and thus the range of hip-hop clothing, especially hip-hop tees.

It is in the character of the urban tee to be large or oversized, or as some may put it, tall. Tall tees are mostly men’s tall tees, designed for the hip-hop or street wear lovers who tower above others. You can easily locate logo tees, airbrushed art portraying any hip-hop artist of your choice, or just tees with text at the front or at the back.

There is a great deal of online shopping options available for those who are looking for tall tees, or urban and hip-hop tees in regular sizes. What’s more, on several sites, you can get custom air-brushed garments. Pick your favorite hip-hop artist, and get t-shirts, hoodies, and jackets custom designed for yourself.

So, go pick your shirt, wear your style unhindered, be what you want to be. And with that t-shirt, say what you want to say!
