Promotional Long Sleeve T-Shirts

If you look back at the history of printed T-shirts you will find that they came about as a result of people wearing underwear such as vests and Long Johns . The traditional printed T-shirts had short sleeves and were used for promotions where the weather was good or the promotion was held indoors. The addition of promotional long sleeve T-shirts came about during the 1960’s and had a good deal to do with the Hippy movement who took a lot of influences form Indian Tie dyed clothing which always had long sleeves.

The traditional printed T-shirts are less expensive then their long sleeve counterparts obviously because they use more fabric however the fact that they are purchased in a ratio of around 100 to 1 also helps to determine their higher cost. Most major brands that include Hanes, Jerzees, Fruit of The Loom etc offer quite a good range of these extremely styling looking pieces of promotional clothing.
