Undershirts and fashion

[Malthus]

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

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.

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.

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

One guy I know even had his robes outfitted with pockets on the inside, and put cold packs into them. 

He was a real "sweat-er" - that is, once he worked up a sweat, it would not stop, which was very irritating for him when he was trying to argue a case.

I have side slits cut in mine under the pits down to about mid waist to help with ventilation.

That's a damn good idea. Easier than cold packs, anyway.

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

I don't wear white dress shirts very often. I'm informal that way now that I'm mostly setup in my home office.

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.

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

Mine shrink and the top button won't button any more.

AND YES THEY REALLY DID SHRINK.

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

Save the breeder routine for someone it won't bounce off of.

Save the prepositions for the middle of your sentences.

Save the breeder routine for someone it won't bounce off of, motherfucker.  Happy?


I've read your reviews. "...And let he without split infinitives cast the first stone."

I'm just in a bad mood because I'm capped at 40 hours and could be making some extra blu ray bank this weekend.  Maybe even buy a new shirt that fits my fucking neck.

I might've come up with a solution to that problem.  I'm supposed to write a proposal.  I do not know how to do that.

Armpit stains don't come from sweat itself, they come from sweat reacting with anti-perspirants. In any case, you can get rid of stains with stain remover.

I've never had a shirt that became unusable from stains before the collar and cuffs wore out.

Incidentally, on the issue of sweating, I had a terrible problem with sweating under the arms constantly from about the autumn of last year through to this spring. Tried everything. What eventually fixed it completely was majorly cutting down my coffee intake. Which also sorted out my perpetual anxiety problems too. 

[crazy canuck]

I didnt know sweat stains were a problem.

Giving thought to why I would never wear dress shirts without an undershirt, I'm not sure...but it would seem wrong not to. Does a starched shirt irritate the bare skin at all?

Also, isn't hairy chest just a bit less professional? You may be able to see it peek out between the buttons when someone sits down, or out the top of the shirt, or even through a thin white shirt...

If you're more than a moderate sweater, undershirt would absorb the sweat that would otherwise make your shirt visibly wet.

What is it with you guys with your sweating and sweat stains.  The only time I sweat is when I am involved in some kind of intense physical effort.  How is it possible that you sweat sitting in an airconditioned office?  We are talking about dress shirts here.
