Well, these shirts, "wife beaters", were dubbed with their nifty little nickname after a certain famous movie by Marlon Brando... I'm sure you all must know what movie, and why, now that I mentioned it. But they actually are tank tops.
|
Actually, the name 'wife beater' came from Tina Turner's husband Ike Turner. Everytime he would beat her, he would wear a tank-top, later becoming the wife beater. Ike is even wearing the shirt in his mug shots.

I have a friend that works in the clothing industry who disagrees with you.
Go go Marlon Brando!
But he says that's the same reason, just different scenarios. In the movie Brando would wear a wife beater every time he beat his wife. 
Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
