Don’t forget when I called you bald:

I definitely forgot about that and now I’m crying about how mediocre and bald I am

To be fair, I also consistently beat your ass on the Mini, and I’m not that good.

Latest drop order arrived today, the Strapped polo is a gem and I’ll definitely be wearing an undershirt when it gets worn this week.

Just to be clear, I gave you a like, then realized you were pro-undershirt and removed it. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

1995-2003 me fucks with the t-shirt under a polo look. But yeah, it’s so Midwest it hurts. Since I turned 21, rawdog polos only.

Tshirts under a polo look like shit.

I can’t imagine buying. Polo that doesn’t double on the course and in the office. So with that in mind I can’t imagine owning a polo where I feel the need to wear an undershirt.

Nothing is nice after I participate

In days of old where people didn’t own 100000 polos, yes, you would wear an undershirt to help extend the life of the good polo shirt. Esp if they were non performance fabrics, which basically anything from the 20th century was. But really this was a practice from wayyyy back when you wore undergarments to keep rough, dyed fabric away from your actual skin.

You keep replacing the cheaper undershirts rather than the more expensive outer garments like the polos or dress shirts.

Now that polos are for the most part gym shirt materials it is not 100% necessary but it will still help to prolong the life by wearing a later underneath. Esp from deodorant build up.

I’m always down to talk some historic clothing practices!

(And I still wear nothing but a bra under light weight hoodies a lot!)

Seeing tons of my clothes ruined over the years this way has me still wearing undershirts. More than ever now that a decent brand runs $100+ a shirt.

The Gentleman’s Gazette has a very good, albeit odd at times, YouTube channel for those of you wanting more things like this

Just catching up and I want to first say @camgriff2 you’re not alone. Hoodies are raw dogged on a regular basis and the Rhoback’s are especially cozy. Perfect hoodies to raw dog in while working.

HOWEVA!! When it comes to undershirts, there is nothing better than UA compression shirts. Or as my wife likes to call them, man spanks and I embrace that. If you’re a fatty like me, it does wonders both on and off the golf course. I wouldn’t be found out in public (unless dropping off kids at school) without my man spanks.

If you put a regular t-shirt under your polo and you’re under 70 then you need to re-evaluate life decisions

To expand on this (and add to my response in the contrarian thread about body positivity), my ā€œman spanksā€ help sooooo much with how I feel about myself (similar to why women (I think) use them). Us fatties are INCREDIBLY aware of our bodies, we don’t need those negative comments (I’m talking to you mom and dad!! Ha)
