On T-shirts

If T-shirts are called T-Shirts because of the short cut of the sleeves, then surely a "long-sleeved T-shirt" is an oxymoron?  Shouldn't this be called an "M-shirt" instead, or simply a "shirt"?

  3. Valid point Mr B and very appropriate to what I'm doing today. i'm ordering long and short sleeve vests for the lads on site. If it's a vest, how come it's long sleeved?

  4. @Gary: Maybe people with short arms will have short-sleeved vests and people with long arm will have long-sleeved vests! :-)
