"J'ai seulement des T-shirts à manches courtes."

Translation: I only have short-sleeved T-shirts.

I'm confused. Aren't all T-shirts short-sleeved? Otherwise, they wouldn't have the T shape and would just be shirts.

[Louradour5]

but shirts have a collar that short-sleeved or long-sleeved t-shirts do not have ?

[effyleven]

I have some long-sleeved T-shirts that pull on over the head like a conventional T.
I use them in the summer to protect my arms from the sun when it is too hot to be CYCLING in a thick jersey.

Apparently long-sleeved t-shirts exist:

To be honest, I have some shirts with long sleeves but I never thought of calling them t-shirts either. I just called them shirts. Like you, I had assumed that a t-shirt always had this shape.

FYI, I have noticed that some website refer to those with long sleeves as "full t-shirts" or "Tee, full". I guess these are fashion-industry insider terms and the average anglophone cannot necessarily be expected to know them.

Let's just call them long-sleeved tee shirts

so the plural ending of T-shirts forms a liaison with the following vowel

[--Roody--]

After a plural noun, a liaison is common but optional.

I heard a new female TTS voice and there was no liaison.
