Comment on I despise laundry. How can I make my life contain less of it?

Invest in merinos and wool / hemp / tencel-lyocell clothing . They retain less odor, evacuate sweat better, plus, more adapted to heat/cold regulations. Even wool can be cool in winter. Avoid cotton first layer like t-shirts, you almost need to wash them after one use. They tend to smell quickly. A merinos shirt can be used Monday, be hanged Tuesday, used Wednesday and so on. Invest in a good pair on denim jeans if wear this kind of pants and remember that it doesn’t need to be washed unless it’s stained or smell bad. Denim should just be hanged on reverse side outside from time to time to take fresh air. Use merinos socks too. Work the same as tshirt. You will still need to wash, but less often.
The cons are merinos and other wool need to be hand washed at best (there wool program on machine, but I don’t risk it). And merinos is more fragile than cotton or synthetic fabric.
And if you don’t like folding, use hangers. That how I do.

Alpaca > Merino. Better temperature regulation and softer feel.
Check out Paka. They have fully traceable alpaca gear, also in tencel/merino blends.

Tanks for the recommendations, never had the chance to try alpaca. I’ll check Paka.
Also, I forget to mention linen for summer.
