What is a Boob Tube? A Boob Tube British slang for a Tube Top, that is all it is. And a tube top is a womens clothing item that has no sleeves, straps or shoulders. It generally wraps the chest area tightly as it has to other means of securing itself on the body. Who invented the Boob Tube? Funnily enough, its invention took place purely by accident by Murray Klied, the owner of S&M Fringing Inc, a company that produced women's accessories in New York. Immensely popular in the 1970's, they all but disappeared throughout the decade of 1990 - 2000.
But it has seen a resurgence and its back in style. What Are They Made Of? They are generally made of some type of elastic material. This allows it to stretch as well as cling to the body, making it less likely that the garment will fall off. A similar garment can be found in halterneck tops. Just a single strap secures the top around the neck.
This has the advantage of allowing designers to use materials that are not commonly used with regular boobtubes. Other versions include the Tube Dress. Which is essentially a dress below the midriff and a tube top above it. There are also tube top jumpers, which is a combination of a top and pants, similar to tube dresses.
