I was never that much of a fan of the humble T-shirt until I started working in Singapore schools, at which point I realised a plain or patterned tee can be a fantastically hard working garment that won't look like a sweaty rag before you're even half way through the day. Prior to 2012 then, I owned one T-shirt that I really liked and that was about it.
