T -The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists (1914) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Robert Noonan, who wrote the book in his spare time under the pen name Robert Tressell. Published after Tressell's death from tuberculosis in the Liverpool Royal Infirmary in 1911, the novel follows a house painter's efforts to find work in the fictional English town of Mugsborough (based on the coastal town of Hastings) to stave off the workhouse for himself, his wife and his son.
I have a copy and must read it again.
Or, The Tuxedo, a 2002 action comedy film directed by Kevin Donovan and starring Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
 
I own a copy of the "Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists" book, and have also seen a stage play based on it. (y)

Alternative "T" - "Tank Tops" , song by Asha Jeffries, which refers to sleeveless pullovers/vests . Clip on YouTube.

Y - The Magic Yarmulka is the title of a 2007 short comedy film, an animation series and a series of stories by Schmuel Kunda. Skin Yarmulke is a track by US hip-hop group The Doppelgangaz. Not seen or heard any of the above. I have a recollection too of a song by someone titled Y-Fronts but this may be a false memory!
 
The Goodies recorded "Cactus in my Y-fronts". Comedy country & western song , clip on YouTube.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Z "ZOOT SUIT" - song by the High Numbers (early version of The Who). Released as a single on the Fontana label in 1964. The better known Who song, "I'm the face", was on the B-side. Got the latter on a vinyl compilation. Clip on You Tube.

Odd coincidence you picked Zoot Suit, Mike as I was recently reading about the Los Angeles Zoot Suit Riots of 1943. The riots form a backdrop to some of James Ellroy's crime novels including The Black Dahlia and The Big Nowhere. All his books are excellent if you like that kind of thing. LA Confidential was made into a film in 1997 with Russell Crowe, Kim Bassinger, Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito.
