The Unknown History of Big Sized Tshirts
When people decide to wear their big sized tee shirts, many do not know about the entire history about them and how they almost became extinct.
The plus sized tshirts that you see people wearing now are nothing in comparison to the extra large tees that were first discovered. It all started back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the kill or be killed attitude ruled the earth.
Here is what we know about how this most comfortable way to dress that did not go the way of the dinosaurs.
In 1679 one of the first dinosaur's bones was discovered and those that discovered it also found a piece of cotton material next to the bones. The scientist that found these unique items could not figure out exactly what the cotton material was or represented. It would not be until more than 50 year later that they would actually know what they had. You see they found the skeletal remains of an entire dinosaur and its t-shirt. That is correct - the remains and the t shirt were preserved perfectly in the ice of the Arctic.
One of the scientists knew that this shirt was a significant find but he had wondered how in the world that this dinosaur had gotten a large sized tshirt to begin with.

Ancient Egypt Through 1679
Somewhere along the way the ancient Egyptians deciphered the cave writings and began to fabricate their own t-shirts. They did not fully grasp the idea however and began to use these shirts only as under garments. They seem to have no sense of humor so they never made funny tees or had and cool tshirts either.
1679 Through Current Time
When the scientist discovered the complete history behind the xl large tees he decided that there was a business opportunity to be had. So he created high class vintage tee shirts that every class of people would want. When his heirs took over they furthered added to the business by incorporating the entire shirt styles from previous heirs and that my friend is how we get our large sized tshirts.
