The design of the ringer tee is said to originate from the uniforms worn by American athletes at the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century, it established itself as a common form of casual wear, and in the 1950s, it gained explosive popularity after being worn by movie stars James Dean and Marlon Brando. The fabric is an original slub jersey made from recycled cotton waste. Because it is a seamless, tubular construction, there is less stress on the underarms when moving the arms, and the absence of stiffness from seams reduces friction against the skin.
