Why wear an undershirt
Matt's top reasons to wear an undershirt:
* If I'm wearing a polyester/acrylic shirt, I'm actually much cooler wearing a cotton undershirt than not.
* I'm cooler wearing a T-shirt than going without a shirt at all. The cotton Tee wicks away perspiration without letting it drip down my butt-crack.
* I have kind of large, long nipples for a guy, and I really, really hate "poppers"! (That is, poppers on ME, I think they are fantastic on women)
* I can throw away cheap T-shirts with yellow pit stains rather than my favorite shirts which end up with yellow pit stains if I don't wear an undershirt.
* I can do double-duty on a favorite shirt before washing it 'cuz the undershirt stinks instead of the nice shirt. Laundering a shirt less also prolongs shirt longevity.
* Collared shirts without undershirts look tacky... particularly if you are prone to Poppers, as mentioned above.
* My nipples chafe if I sweat much and don't wear an undershirt.
* I sweat... a LOT, even just sitting in this chair right now. If you don't sweat much, dude, you don't know what it's like. A sweat-soaked shirt is unattractive.
There you have it: reasons to wear an undershirt. I stay away from the wife-beaters (also called tank-tops) because they don't solve the pit-stains problem.
What about you? Undershirt-wearer or undershirt-hater?
Wearer..
I had an interesting moment when you came out here, Matt. I offerred to loan you an undershirt at which you guffawed and said, "Justin, I brought my own underwear, thanks".
I tend to wear black undershirts under everything except white cotton button downs (even other T Shirts). In that case I will wear an white undershirt. Either way, by then end of an day I am usually stripped down to that undershirt.
I wear it for the sweat reason. I just don't like the idea of possibly getting the "pits" - and if my outershirt is loose, I would definitely sweat more.
So yeah.. I am a wearer.

Nice post.
I have an entire stack of white, v-neck undershirts because I wear them every day regardless of the season, occasion or demand.

I now know far more about your nipples than I ever wanted to know.
