When did 'everyone' start start calling t-shirts 'tees'?

Or clothing catalogues calling things ' a trouser'? I can't be the only one who thinks it's a bit odd.

Not that it's exactly a matter of great importance.

I think its just an american term brought over by companies like abercrombie etc. Nobody i know actually calls them that.

Everyone was in inverted commas because I know not EVERYONE does. But everything I see on here seems to refer to them as that. Just stick tees into the search box.
