Unisex Sleeveless Shirt – “Frank The Tank” Old School Tanks

Our Unisex Sleeveless Shirt feel and fit work for all genders, all while providing comfortable wear for hours in sizes ranging from S to 2XL.A sleeveless t-shirt, also referred to as a muscle shirt, shares the same design as a T-shirt, yet it lacks sleeves. This design alteration is made intentionally for specific reasons. Some sleeveless T-shirts feature smaller, narrower arm holes and are traditionally worn by both men and women. They find their popularity in various contexts, being frequently donned during athletic activities or adopted as casual wear, especially in warmer weather conditions.

In the southern United States, colloquially known as shooter shirts, these sleeveless T-shirts have carved a niche for themselves. Despite the trend gaining momentum, there is an interesting shift in their usage over time. Originally associated with surfers and bodybuilders, earning them the nickname “muscle” shirt, these garments often displayed the names and logos of gyms, reflecting a strong connection to fitness culture. The 1980s marked a peak in their popularity.

This Old School Tank is no ordinary piece of clothing. Its rounded neck and side-seamed detailing provide a retail fit for clothing that’s true to size. The tank top designed for a tight fit and often made of ribbed cotton is also colloquially called an A-shirt, or, more offensively, wifebeater, beater, guinea tee or dago tee (guinea and dago being American ethnic slurs for people of Italian ethnicity).

Our Airlume clean cotton Unisex Sleeveless Shirt is combed and ring-spun for texture and feel unlike any other. Solid colors are made of 100% Airlume cotton; (Athletic Heather is made of 90% Airlume cotton; 10% polyester; Deep Heather is made of 52% Airlume cotton, 48% poly).

However, as time progressed, a notable transition occurred. Sleeveless T-shirts without prominent logos began to be more commonly embraced as casual wear, symbolizing a shift in fashion preferences. This transformation is attributed to the evolving dynamics of style and comfort. These shirts, once exclusively linked to specific subcultures, have seamlessly integrated into mainstream fashion as versatile wardrobe staples. The absence of logos contributes to their adaptability, making them suitable for various occasions beyond their original athletic and niche associations.

Our “Frank The Tank” Tank Tops is proudly made with 7x less water than average manufacturers, in recycle-friendly facilities that also guarantee zero sweatshop conditions.

In addition to athletic usage, tank tops have traditionally been used as undershirts, especially with suits and dress shirts. They are sometimes worn alone without a dress shirt or top shirt during very warm and/or humid weather. Tank tops are often worn alone under very casual settings, as lounge wear, and/or while completing yard work or other chores around the home.
