  I wear a dress shirt to work every day. They’re all no-iron; they don’t wrinkle and are wearable out of the dryer.

  Textiles have come a long way in the past 50 years.

      Funny thing is: I switched from cheap T shirts to dress shirts after I bought one good quality one for a job interview.

      They’re don’t get hot in the heat, wick away moisture, keep you warm when it’s cold, don’t shrink or wrinkle, last a good 10 years of heavy use and look professional no matter who you’re with.

      I don’t know why my parents’ generation ever abandoned them.

        That’s great except I have been told by my boss and my boss’s boss that me looking like a shlub gives me more technical credibility.
