Talk:Shirt

Ok, the "list of various ways to distinguish between shirts" was uh, weird, poorly organized, not linked to terminology, and didn't really say anything about what a shirt IS or it's function or anything really. It just sorta listed structural variations. And not all that many of those, as I was working on it, I tripled the list, and then decided it was stupid, and deleted it. -- Rick Boatright 07:13, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

You seem to have ideas for improvement. Please go ahead, without throwing away useful content. - Patrick 14:10, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

The reality is that sometimes deletions ARE improvements. You call it "useful content." HOW is it useful content? It _might_ be possible that you could create an entry called "A taxonomy for distinguishing items of clothing." I have no idea if fashionista's have such a thing, but I would not be surprized. Is there _really_ a taxonomy of shirts? If so, the content I deleted does not provide one. Rick Boatright 14:16, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Request to add more information

Does anyone have information about the Mexican Wedding Shirt? I would be interested in learning more.

Thanks

List of people who wore shirts

An anonymous editor is repeatedly reinserting a "List of people who wore shirts" into the article. Since such a list encompasses virtually every modern figure and most historical ones, it is unencyclopedic, unmanageable, and inappropriate—it has no place in this article. I encourage other editors of this article to keep an eye on the situation. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Why someone would want to vandalise an article about shirts is beyond me. Hall Monitor 22:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I guess he's just full of shirt! Ba-dum-bum-ching. (I'll be here all week—try the veal!) TenOfAllTrades(talk) 22:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

a question

A question that has been popping up lately is, why do men's shirts have the buttons on the right, and women's vice versa? The blouse article lists a number of undocumented hypotheses with varying degrees of grammatical innacuracy, but I havent' been able to find anything resembling an answer in any source. Any ideas? It seems like that info would belong here. --Benfonz 3:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Its because women used to have their maids dress them (along time ago), so they installed the buttons on the left to make it easier for the maid to button them. Men had to dress themselfs so the buttons stayed on the right.

I hope this answer your question

Vandalism

I recently had to delete the following from the introductory paragraph:

Shirts are specially designed with two arm holes and one neck hole to fit perfectly on a human or ape.seagulls too.

This makes it obvious that some people have too much time on their hands. Anthony Rupert 10:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
