I hate shopping for clothes (yes, any day now I expect to receive by notice by mail that the authorities have revoked my homosexuality) so I don't do it very often, but last time I did I noticed a bunch of t-shirts sold as "dress t-shirts." This sounded like an oxymoron, so I asked, and was told they were the sort of t-shirts you could wear with a dressier jacket, like a sports coat.
To me, it looked like an excuse to charge $80 for t-shirts.
So it might be just as well there isn't a word for "a t-shirt not worn as an undershirt," since it might become a pretext for higher prices on same.
