Why does a wife beater (a-shirt?) help with CCW? So it isn't rubbing your skin all day? Tongue

Both sorts of undershirts have their purpose.

T-undershirts are great when worn under polos, button-downs, and heavier sorts of shirts. Suck up sweat all over, prevent chafing from IWB holsters, bits of the heater that may not be covered by the holster, and your mag & mag carrier.

A-shirts are great when you want to CCW under an untucked T-shirt. They serve a similar purpose as the T-undershirt, but are used when you don't want the undershirt visible.BTW, the untucked T-shirt is best made of heavier material, a darker color, and perhaps a pattern.

Another use for the A-shirt is when you CCW IWB commando--no undershorts. Make sure you buy the A-shirt extra-long. The Wal-mart FotL A-shirts have an unhemmed bottom and are longer than similarly-sized A-shirts from Hanes, etc. The A-shirt then prevents chafing up high as well as down low, where your undershorts would be.

I thought "wife beaters" were the sleeveless T-shirts. A-shirts are more like tank tops.....

A muscle shirt is essentially a sleeveless t-shirt. It covers the entire torso, whereas an a-shirt has a low front and back neckline. (I think.)

The last style Rob87 linked to are also known as, "marble bags."

ROFL

I've never heard that term before.

mgdavis · « **Reply #58 on:** December 12, 2007, 06:32:38 PM »

They also go by the moniker "banana hammock".

Btw, I've got a line on a batch of mind bleach, I'll be taking orders starting immediately. grin

I think T and A correspond to the shape the shirt resembles when laid out flat. The T has the sleeves to form the upper horizontal dash. A's are sleeveless, so they appear tapered at the top.

If you must know, I am a boxer man and like T-shirts as undergarment but A-shirts for exercise.

Anyways, I guess this is where I say my farewell. We all know he'll see this eventually, and the ban is likely to soon follow. Cheesy

Not that it's an infallible guide, but pop culture says NO. Or just look up "wife beater" on Google Image Search.

Nor is the A-shirt a "slightly dressier wife-beater." Wife-beater's just a slang term for an A-shirt.

wooderson · « **Reply #63 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:00:55 PM »

I think of them as being made of different material. Wife-beaters are ribbed cotton, a-shirts are smooth.

To each their own, right?

And wait: I thought a-shirts and "wife beaters" were the same thing. A-shirts are ribbed cotton, yes? Muscle shirts are the smooth cotton, if I'm remembering correctly.

It seems like most of the responses confirm my initial thoughts.

Oh, and just so everyone knows:

Ex-MA Hole invited me here, so anything and everything I do or say is directly his fault.

/waves to Ex-MA Hole Cheesy

Ah, I must respectfully disagree, good sir. Since you are unfamiliar with the conventions of this forum, I shall excuse you your ignorance.

It's not Ex-ma-hole's fault or your own, it's Fistfuls. He is the designated Forum Scapegoat. Please direct all forum-related blame to him. Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a good day.

Oh man, I just burst out laughing so hard. At first I thought you were serious, and then I read the second paragraph. Bwahahah!

Check out Fistful's signature for further clarification.

member1313 · « **Reply #72 on:** December 20, 2007, 06:05:50 AM »

I always wondered what that was about. I take it it's an inside joke between you two?

Ex-MA Hole · « **Reply #73 on:** December 20, 2007, 06:19:52 AM »

No.

WAY back when, he changed his name to Scapegoat for a while, sort of a self pity thing. Well, it stuck.

Random searches of his name will show that roughly once a week or so, he gets blamed for something.

No reason, it's just, well, his job.

Ex-MA Hole · « **Reply #74 on:** December 20, 2007, 06:25:17 AM »

I need to correct what I said....it seems I made him the designated Scapegoat back in April.......Wow.

I started the Fistful Fanclub.....

Cool.
