undershirt
Torso's first layer
An undershirt is a lightweight garment worn beneath a shirt, typically sleeveless or short-sleeved.
It absorbs sweat, provides warmth, and protects outer clothing from body oils.
In American usage, the sleeveless variety is sometimes called a wifebeater or tank top.
British English prefers vest for this garment.
