How often do you wash clothes? (NOT "how often do you change clothes?")

I look pretty good in hats and caps but I hate wearing them.  They make my head itch.  I don't own suspenders.

A Texan without a ten gallon hat?  :(

I can see it being unfortunate that you do not own a ranch, but I think not having a rodeo fetish would be a good thing?

Besides, in 9 cases out of ten, I throw away clothes for being no longer fashionable before they manage to get destroyed through wear and tear. 

I go for classic looks rather than trendy stuff precisely for this reason.  Men's clothes are nice that way, alot of stuff just looks good for years.

Well, I don't as much go for a "trendy" look as I like shopping for clothes and have various different outfits I assemble.

How can you overturn my view of the world like that?

I pictured all Texans as riding the range wearing ten gallon hats, returning to the ranch to perhaps type out a line or two on Languish before being called away to deal with maurading indians or mexicans.

I'm crying into my giant maple leaf hat.  :cry:

Then you have ties, scarves, chokers, wrist bands, socks, suspenders, hats or caps, etc.

Ties, I have lots of ties but I rarely wear them since this is a very casual city.  Heck my boss once accused me for kissing up because I wear ncie shirts and pants to work everyday.

Scarves...it is hot here I am not sure when I would be able to wear it.

Chokers and wrist bands...well those are pretty unfashionable for an adult male.

I look pretty good in hats and caps but I hate wearing them.  They make my head itch.  I don't own suspenders.
I don't see why you can't be casual while still be wearing a tie. They are a very good way to accessorize (e.g. give your outfit a bit of colour) without looking stuffy.

Scarves can be worn in warm weather, especially when it is windy (I am not talking here thick, winter-style scarves, but rather soft, silk ones you can tie around your neck, as if they were a tie).

Wrist bands, again, can be a nice touch, although I agree you don't want to go overboard with that.

Socks, like ties, are great for some colour touch. Suspenders can offer a nice contrast as well (I am not talking about normal, "utilitarian" ones, but more crazy stuff - e.g. thick white suspenders look cool with a black shirt for a semi-casual night out).

Hats and caps can also be cool, especially the retro style ones that are fashionable this summer.

Btw, does anyone else get confused by Malthus and Valmy having similar avatars? :P

Similar is some sort of metaphorical sense?  :lol:

Cleaners ftw. If you aren't staying on the cusp of the fashion industry, and I'm not, it saves some trouble and keeps the clothes lasting longer.

Towels, undergarments, socks, and sheets--done on an irregular schedule, whenever tolerance for the hamper getting full is lost. As my tolerance is higher, I get the chore infrequently.  :blush:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I do think it is funny about Texas' reputation for having Indians.  Our Native Population is almost non-existant.

Well I have heard Alberta called the 'Texas of Canada'.  They should be proud.
