A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body (from the neck to the waist).
Originally an undergarment worn exclusively by men, it has become, in American English, a catch-all term for a broad variety of upper-body garments and undergarments. In British English, a shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons or snaps (North Americans would call that a "dress shirt", a specific type of collared shirt). A shirt can also be worn with a necktie under the shirt collar.
A sleeve (Old English: slīef, a word allied to slip, cf. Dutch sloof) is the part of a garment that covers the arm, or through which the arm passes or slips.
The sleeve is a characteristic of fashion seen in almost every country and time period, across a myriad of styles of dress. Styles vary from close-fitting to the arm, to relatively unfitted and wide sleeves, some with extremely wide cuffs. Long, hanging sleeves have been used variously as a type of pocket, from which the phrase "to have up one's sleeve" (to have something concealed ready to produce) comes. There are many other proverbial and metaphorical expressions associated with the sleeve, such as "to wear one's heart upon one's sleeve", and "to laugh in one's sleeve".
Early Western medieval sleeves were cut straight, and underarm triangle-shaped gussets were used to provide ease of movement. In the 14th century, the rounded sleeve cap was invented, allowing a more fitted sleeve to be inserted, with ease around the sleeve head and a wider cut at the back allowing for wider movement. Throughout the 19th century and particularly during the Victorian era in Western culture, the sleeves on women's dress at times became extremely wide, rounded or otherwise gathered and 'puffy', necessitating the need for sleeve supports worn inside a garment to support the shape of the sleeve. Various early styles of Western sleeve are still found in types of academic dress.
Sleeve length varies in modern times from barely over the shoulder (cap sleeve) to floor-length (as seen in the Japanese furisode). Most contemporary shirt sleeves end somewhere between the mid-upper arm and the wrist.
T, or t, is the twentieth letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is tee (pronounced ), plural tees.
It is derived from the Semitic Taw 𐤕 of the Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew script (Aramaic and Hebrew Taw ת/𐡕/, Syriac Taw ܬ, and Arabic ت Tāʼ) via the Greek letter τ (tau). In English, it is most commonly used to represent the voiceless alveolar plosive, a sound it also denotes in the International Phonetic Alphabet. It is the most commonly used consonant and the second-most commonly used letter in English-language texts.

Ok my husband is not that tall — just about 6 feet — but he has a long torso. Most J Crew T-shirts fit him like a crop-top, so disappointing, and we had almost given up. But I decided to get him the Tall Medium size in this T-shirt, and it fits him perfectly!
The length is actually just normal old-fashioned T-shirt length – covers the torso, and doesn’t show any belly when he raises his arms, which is important when he’s teaching. The sleeve length is fine.
The Bedford Coal color fabric is very smooth, the Black color fabric feels a little thicker and not quite as smooth. Both are nice, but the Bedford Coal is particularly good.

Hits at the hips or can be tucked into waist high pants, cuter than just a plain tshirt . This will get a lot of wear.

I bought this t-shirt a few weeks ago. Was wondering why it is priced that high and the good reviews. And when it arrived I immediately prepared to return it. But then I decided to try it on an extra day or two!! I am so happy I did!! I started to notice the feel, and the more I paid attention to it the more I started to understand why people love it!! I noticed the fabric, and then I noticed the fit, xxl works well for me. It wasn’t too tight or too loose. The construction is really exceptional-the fabric is I think what they call woven cotton? Not sure, but the threads feel smooth and rolled and really high quality. I tried it on one morning and afternoon out and about town and I was just wowed! It’s a super high quality fabric, but it’s still thin! And it’s cut well for most body types I think! I am not a very athletic body type, so I need shirts that somewhat help me out, if one may! Bottom line, I LOVE and baby this t-shirt! I bought 2 more! Would love a plain burgundy color!

I like the classic look of a nice T with jeans and these fit the bill. Sizes are spot on which I find with most J Crew clothing. With other products I’m always going up to XL but the L fits perfect.
