Shirt - Parts of Shirt

Parts of Shirt

Many terms are used to describe and differentiate types of shirts (and upper-body garments in general) and their construction. The smallest differences may have significance to a cultural or occupational group. Recently, (late 20th century) it has become common to use tops to carry messages or advertising. Many of these distinctions apply to other upper-body garments, such as coats and sweaters.

Famous quotes containing the words parts of, parts and/or shirt:

    “The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “For a shirt verminously busy
    Yon soldier tore from his throat, with oaths
    Godhead might shrink at, but not the lice.”
    —Isaac Rosenberg (1890–1918)
