These shirts once were relegated only to the bowling lanes for league play. Their loose fit was perfect for the movements bowlers made - buying the beer round or rolling strikes, these shirts rarely saw service outside of the hardwood confines of the lanes. Bowling teams donned similarly colored or styled shirts to adopt a uniform look - I think, to make bowling appear more sporty.

But these styled shirts are making a comeback, for many reasons. Their cut is complimentary for any man's shape. Heck, I wear a 3XL myself and I feel doggone handsome in mine! Strong vertical stripes help any man look tall and strong - or at least taller and stronger than he is! These shirts look good on you, no matter if you're a Young Republican sporting a crew-cut, or you're covered in tattoos and piercings. I know for sure that I'm not going to look like the guy standing next to me. For most men, we like to express our individuality. Bowling shirts come in bold color schemes, stripes, sporting rock-and-roll themed embroidery, sexiness, and daring prints. You can easily find many styles of shirts to add to your wardrobe, especially here on eBay!

There's something, too, about wearing clothing whose styling comes from a time that was a little slower, a little more stable than our own. AM radio played songs that were no longer than three minutes in length, families seemed more bonded, things didn't change as much. These shirts, this fashion harkens back to a more sedate America. The early days of rock-and-roll, hot rods, jump and jive, school dances... anyone can feel younger again sporting a beautiful bowling shirt!
