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?

I now know far more about your nipples than I ever wanted to know.
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.
Hey Matt, Like your points
Hey Matt,
Like your points about wearing undershirts. I’m going to add them to my site ([url=http://undershirtguy.com/]undershirtguy.com[/url]) to a post that covers the topic of “wearing an undershirt”.
Also, just in case you’re interested, I posted a couple of articles over the last week or so that cover the topic of compression tanks and undershirts.
Take it easy, Tug
