Tank Tops Men

Marcel, tank top or singlet... a look back at the history

The tank top is a French creation. And yes! It was Marcel Eisenberg, owner of a hosiery company, who started to mass-produce the tank top that would bear his name. He was inspired by a clever handler who arrived with a woollen jumper whose sleeves he had cut off to free up shoulder mobility. In France we use the term "marcel" to designate this garment, but also tank tops and sleeveless T-shirts. Meanwhile, in the United States, the equivalent of the Marcel is called the "singlet".

Initially a symbol of the working man, the tank top became a dazzling success thanks to the actor Marlon Brandon in "A tram named Desire" and became the symbol of the virile and sexy man.
