Chriselle 158 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I buy about 10 or so new white undershirts every other month. Actually my wife buys them.....Use them a while but soon they become rags for waxing the car or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites

SKI 15 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Doesn't take the thermometer to get too high for me to sweat way too much. Right now it's just horrible. Definitely the worst time of year as noted elsewhere. Glad it took this long to rack up there. Yeah lower layer definitely needed. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 He's a sweaty gaijin! Ya,,, I'm always hot and bothered. All my clothes in general have a short lifespan....especially underwear, socks and shirts. Wasteful but meh.... Link to post Share on other sites

Mick Rich 78 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well I begrudgingly decided to conform and bought myself 3 undershirt T-shirts this weekend then tested one out today, on what felt like the hottest day of the year to date!! Verdict:- I was hotter and sweatier than normal but my work shirt remained dry and hopefully pit stain-free!! Btw, I bought poly/cotton (70/30% mix) T-shirts from Uniqlo, mainly because they were on sale, but what do other conformists wear:- cotton, poly/cotton, 100% polyester or one of those silky looking numbers??

pie-eater 207 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have some of each actually. What do they call it Silky Dry. I think that is the choice of the modern conformist. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If you're worried about the pong, I'd stay away from manmade fibers. Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yes what he said. Feels better if you can just leave Japan for 6 weeks though. Wish I could! Link to post Share on other sites

JellyBelly 1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Some days I feel I almost need 3 layers as the one nearest my body is so wet. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I presume that air-conditioned shirt that I saw on the news a few years back didn't take off. I have cotton ones. They get washed as soon as I get back every day basically. Link to post Share on other sites
