Undershirts 

[Grey Fox]

Men without undershirts when wearing a dress shirt, a casual shirt or a polo shirt are barbarians and should be purged.

I thought only old guys wore an undershirt under their dress shirt.  At least that was the way it used to be.  But now that I am old I still don't.  What is the point of doing that?

Flabbyness, shaggyness & uncomfortable fabrics.

Flabbyness

Do undershirts help much with this? I've seen many cases where it looks like undershirt is trying to help hide what we all know.

shaggyness

Alternatively, don't have super thin shirts?

uncomfortable fabrics.

Alternatively, don't purchase uncomfortable fabrics.

I don't think it hides anything but the psychological need is strong.

Have you been to wal mart lately? All clothes are super thing nowadays or uncomfortable.

Yes, I've been to Walmart a few times this year, but no, I haven't looked at the clothing.

Keeps the inside of your shirt clean from all the dirt on your skin.

I am not fit as I once was but I am not sure how an undershirt would help with that.  As for shaggyness, I have a fair amount of hair on my chest.  The good news is I have read that is coming back into style. The better news is that does not interfere at all with wearing dress shirts.  As for uncomfortable fabrics - there is an obvious solution to that.  I quite like the feel of the fabrics I purchase.

If you are worried about a crewneck t-shirt showing at the open collar of a dress shirt, why not wear a tie?

Update on my survey.

Just left a meeting with 4 other men:

2 with crew necks
1 with a v neck
1 who was too obese and double chinned to make an assessment

Wash and then eventually buy new shirts. So really purpose of undershirt (as long as not wifebeater type) seems to be just to make sure outer layer of clothing lasts longer.

You should try taking a shower.  With proper application of soap and a steady stream of running water the dirt from your skin is fairly easily removed.  Failing that you can always wash your shirts after wearing them so as to remove the dirt accumulated from being worn.  Eventually you will need to purchase a new shirt but you should do that anyway.

That's like curing a headache with a guillotine.
