Comment on Is ironing clothes significantly less common now?

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.
