Undershirts and fashion

[DGuller]

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.

Sounds like you need to do both of those things regularly, so I'm not sure how that's an improvement over an undershirt.  The advantage of an undershirt is that you have to buy it once, and you're set until you have to buy another one in a year.

Yes, I do shower regularly.  Hence the lack of need to protect my shirts from dirt.

I sometimes wear an undershirt, especially in winter or in places with heavy A/C. But I change that and the overshirt everyday, so it only increases the amount of laundry...

I keep a sweater in my office for the days I need a bit more warmth.

Sweaters look silly with a jacket if your wear a suit.

Do your shirts fall apart in less than a year if you wear them without an undershirt?

I wear A-Shirts.  Otherwise known as vests (UK?) or unfortunately wife-beaters.

See, I don't get that.  Part of the purpose--at least for me-- of an undershirt is to help with containing perspiration, saving your dress shirt from an ugly death from armpit stains.  Wifebeaters defeat that concept.

Agreed on all points.

Yeah, that is why only only wear it in my office.

If I need to meet with a client I just take it off. If I am in court I have my robes on.  I dont need to wear an undershirt to be warm.

You pigs should be dumping your undershirts and white dress shirts every year anyway.

Not all of us can afford to be that wasteful.  Some of us have families, you know.

Know whaty I hate? Hot stuffy courtrooms. In Toronto, that means 'most of them'.

I'm not often in court, but when I am, half the time I'm sweltering in my robes.

I'm sure they'll work out the damage from Daddy's dirty undershirts in therapy.

Ring around the collar leaves stains, not just on the shirt, but on the psyche.  Those you just cant Shout out, my friend.

1 who was too obese and double chinned to make an assessment

Update: I saw this guy again and he seemed not to have an undershirt on at all, though it is possible he had a well concealed v neck.

I've failed to make a full survey, but informally think a slight majority of men wore crew neck undershirts.

Yep, one day I hope to be a QC so I can wear the Silks rather than the heavy wool.

I'm sure that probably all makes sense when you tell it to your cats.
