The History Of The Men’s Y Back Tank Top

Men’s tank tops were first introduced to Eastern fashion in the 19th century as a part of bathing suits for both men and women, during the 1920’s at the time this “Unitard” or “Singlet” was a one-piece combination of men’s compression shorts on the bottom and a sleeveless low front cut compression tank top top. Hence the name “Singlet”. Then later became known as the Tank Top. Coney Island was it’s birth place. This nickname came about during the World War l when soldiers, Muscular Men of the time were known to be “built like a Tank”. Due to the hot weather, uncomfortable stuffy fit and the need for a tan, guy’s quickly just cut them in half according to Ray Lucca, director of global marketing at Physique Bodyware USA, inspired by the movie Pumping Iron, we re invented the Y Back Stringer Tank Top in the late 1980’s for bodybuilders and elite athletes to help them stay cool and dry during their workouts and to look friggin' awesome in the gym while they trained!

The men’s Y back tank top was made world famous in the 1970’s in bodybuilding gyms across America, especially a little gym founded by Joe Gold in Santa Monica California. The men’s Y back stringer tank top as it became known as today thanks for its shoe string like straps, was hand made by the bodybuilders at Gold’s just by cutting the straps of a standard tank top to give it that vintage look and fit that bodybuilders thrive for today. Unlike the tank tops we’ve all seen on TV and in the movies made famous by Hugh Jackman in “Wolverine” and David Hasselhoff in Baywatch and Bruce Willis in “Die Hard” plus Bruce Lee in “Enter The Dragon” and Vin Diesel in “Fast and Furious”. It wasn’t until 1990 that the men’s tank top transitioned from a simple sleeveless tee to the iconic muscle shirt that we know and love today. It was during that decade, when Physique Bodyware came along and coined the phrase Y back stringer tank top and made it a household name.
