Anyone got a new shirt?

Kids bought me a Pendleton Woolen Mills plaid wool shirt for Christmas.

I wore them, Oh, about 40 years ago when I fancied myself a surfer in Southern California.

Thankfully, they took all the pins, clips, stiffeners, etc. off before wrapping.

Of course, it is the wrong size, a color I would never wear and actually, I don't like wearing wool shirts anymore. I guess it can stay on the top shelf of my closet for a few more years until I die and they can gift it to St. Vincent de Paul or something.

Where they got the idea I wear a 3XL tall....

 

I wear almost exclusively guayabera shirts these days, I unwrapped 3 last week. They had plastic clips and tissue paper but no collar stiffeners.

 

Fine Guayabera (or possibly Palapa) there JimboP. I did note the country of origin and report all such go to the export market.

 

Some I have are from the Philippines, and some from the Yucatan in Mexico, but most are Chinese, I really like the FoxFire brand but they have limited color choices.

 

I haven't unwrapped a shirt (other than an undershirt) in years. The dress shirts that go with my suit are 10 years old. The collared shirts I tend to wear now are polo shirts I find hanging on racks. Other than those I wear T-shirts, finding them folded on shelves or purchased at fundraisers.

 

Why is the thread on PriusChat? Normally, I just pass right on without looking, but today, I opened the thread .... and cannot understand what the connections is.

 

I suspect that over 99% of Prius owners wear shirts or blouses.

 

Ah, forget it. I can't get my photo to paste.

 

Um, it's in Fred's House of Pancakes...

 

I got a free t-shirt in a case of beer one time. It looked really good especially after I cut the sleeves off.

 

I cannot. Wife says it will make her hair look too big

 

Yeah, those wife beaters just come in a plastic bag. Rip it open, spill some BBQ sauce and beer on it and you are ready to go. But a new wife beater won't really be broken in until you wear it to change the oil in the old Prius and wipe your hands with it. Then you are ready for an uptown adventure (if you have your sh*tkickers on).

 

LOL
Reminds me of our ole wood shop teacher The Dickens was married to an English teacher a few classrooms away...
If Dickens caught anyone working on a project after the cleanup bell, he'd sneakup on um and plant a 12 up while raisin both arm and yellin

No pancakes for you! LOL

 

My last dress shirts were bought at a store where they are on hangers, so no dealing with the potentially hazardous and somewhat exasperating task of unwrapping them. At this point I have to believe that these are probably my last ones as I reach the end of my career in business. Hopefully in a couple of years I'll look forward to a life of leisure, where dress shirts will only be an occasional requirement.

 

True. After my pharmaceutical career finished about 10 years ago the only time those dressier shirts (and slacks, for that matter) come out of the closet is for the inevitable funerals (alas, we're not getting younger), weddings and an occasional Christmas party from work that still includes us. Beyond that it's t-shirts and polo golf shirts, jeans and shorts all the time.

I've already donated most of my old dress shirts to local charity thrift shop. Barring a big physical change like old age shrinking the body I'll probably never have to buy another one.
