The T-shirt's popularity increased exponentially in 1951, when audiences were bowled over by a young, beautiful (and T-shirted) Marlon Brando in his breakout role as Stanley Kowalski in the movie adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire".
Underwear went mainstream overnight.
As far as I can tell, the world's most expensive T-shirt was made somewhere in the United Kingdom and cost $400,000. It was made of cotton, and embellished with 16 diamonds adding up to 9 carats....while Brando's "Stanley" would probably have paid no more than 25 cents for his own torn and memorable scrap of jersey.
