According to Wikipedia, "the stripe was added within the first year of publication (December 21, 1950)"
I'm a little uncertain whether the technology/economies of scale/willpower to mass-produce a t-shirt with a stripe that goes from front-to-back exists even today.(Surely there is no shortage of silkscreens lazily applied to front and back with little regard to producing a seamless continuous stripe.)So it would mindboggling to see this achieved in 1950.

Why does Charlie Brown's shirt have to be mass-produced? why can't it be handsewn by grandma?

Both of his parents are professional trumpeters iirc, that's why they're always practicing, even when he's trying to communicate with them. These days Child Protection Services would get called on them

His shirt has a collar. So it could be a polo shirt or possibly a pullover sweater.

The first appearance of the zig-zag shirt (1950!)

no collar there. So when was the collar introduced?

I have a hypothesis that this is probably the most frequently user-made shirt pattern in Animal Crossing.
