Oops. I didn't mean to suggest that the thing that man is wearing is a
wifebeater. The article suggests, whether tongue in cheek, I don't
know, that the mesh thing has replaced the "wifebeater" as the
official grament for domestic abusers.

It's just the first link I found when I did a search for "Hanes
wifebeater," and it did suggest a connection between the garment and
the crime.

BTW, if Hanes uses "tank" in their ads for men, maybe that's the term
to go with.
