Especially now, since in Japan, schools do not have central air, and so I have to teach. I use deodorant and anti-perspirant, but to protect my shirts from the sweat (island nation, humidity is terrible) and keep from looking disgusting, I have to. I wear crew necks, though. Either I am wearing a tie or I have only he top unbuttoned. I will never open two buttons in the classroom or the teachers' lounge.

The non-stretch ones, in my experience, move with you and move with your overshirt and contribute to pulling your overshirt up and out of your pants. As everyone knows, the resultant untucked feeling is wretched indeed.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-16094880052860721232012-07-06T22:02:29.197-04:002012-07-06T22:02:29.197-04:00Without fail my husband will wear an undershirt un...Without fail my husband will wear an undershirt under everything - even a golf shirt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-26680848903649702202012-07-06T21:01:58.740-04:002012-07-06T21:01:58.740-04:00Minor point: old wool/cotton blend shirts require ...Minor point: old wool/cotton blend shirts require undershirts.<br /><br />Also I wonder what will happen if you put undershirt under a non-white dress shirt, if anything it will make the respective color whiter?chenlongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-62203209440971581102012-07-06T20:59:51.170-04:002012-07-06T20:59:51.170-04:00Minor point: old wool/cotton blend shirts require ...Minor point: old wool/cotton blend shirts require undershirt.<br /><br />Also, I wonder what if you put undershirt under a non-white dress shirt, if anything it will maker the respective color whiter?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295528637730510191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-61661934708208575882012-07-06T00:27:30.455-04:002012-07-06T00:27:30.455-04:00If I'm wearing a jacket and tie, I'm weari...If I'm wearing a jacket and tie, I'm wearing an undershirt.<br /><br />If not, I'll likely skip the undershirt and leave two buttons open on a hot day.

Haven't you ever seen "The Jersey Shore"<br /><br />I prefer tank tops as my undershirt of choice, but only in the winter as insulation. I also like plain white t-shirts and jeans. I guess that labels me as a philistine, but I'll own it.<br /><br />I can't believe the t-shirt post was more controversial than the disliking the olympics post. People look at me like I'm a red communist when I say I'm not really looking forward to the olympics.randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-21613404176014799202012-07-05T20:23:14.367-04:002012-07-05T20:23:14.367-04:00Agreed on all counts except for the categorical co...Agreed on all counts except for the categorical condemnation of the wearing of V-neck T-shirts with nothing on top of them. <br /><br />There are a few, *very* few combinations of situation, physique, and color where this works.

I used a hell of a lot of them in the sweltering summer sun of Delhi, 3 or 4 a day. I do wear t-shirts without overshirts though: good for bicycling on a hot day, with fresh shirts in my shoulder bag for when I've reached my destination.Plumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-42930805779263122192012-07-05T14:17:01.249-04:002012-07-05T14:17:01.249-04:00Anon wrote: "exposing chest hair etc. is guid...Anon wrote: "exposing chest hair etc. is guido territory."<br /><br />Says you!David Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656794645683894339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-15896149632503720522012-07-05T12:58:27.077-04:002012-07-05T12:58:27.077-04:00I could not agree with you more - on all points.I could not agree with you more - on all points.Salt Water New Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940851375677714833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-75081980177366963702012-07-05T11:47:26.665-04:002012-07-05T11:47:26.665-04:00Crewnecks are the better option - the "v"...Crewnecks are the better option - the "v" can sometimes till be seen under a white shirt even when the collar is buttoned. Besides, wearing a T Shirt and still exposing chest hair etc. is guido territory. LBF, living in S. California, is not aware of, or has forgotten, the realities of 90+ degree heat with 90+ percentage humidity. T Shirts under dress shirts are de riguer in the SE - especially this time of year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-58974208938296536922012-07-05T11:16:36.688-04:002012-07-05T11:16:36.688-04:00Never.Never.Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-75005497451915640702012-07-05T11:09:46.630-04:002012-07-05T11:09:46.630-04:00I have been wearing undershirts year-round since I...I have been wearing undershirts year-round since I was a youngster. Mother always made sure I had a crisp white undershirt for each day as well as a fresh handkerchief for my pocket. Even though I now live in a tropical country, I find wearing an undershirt even more useful because it helps to hide excessive perspiration. I'd feel nekkid without one.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119187433618815256.post-4588101459832308612012-07-05T10:23:41.257-04:002012-07-05T10:23:41.257-04:00Amen!
