Well, the XXL ones do cost more to manufacture, you understand...

I look at things a bit different when shopping. I ask myself, what would it cost me to make one of these. If its metal or wood, I usually make it myself. Hosiery, I buy.

Allows you to wear shirts twice a week without stinking them up.

My company orders them in bult for about $.92 each. You aren't ordering them in bulk. Pay the $3.33 or watch for sales.

Heh. Try $20 per. In the summer, I wear white t-shirts under polo shirts where you can see them. Therefore, I buy good quality ones, rather than the shitty Hanes specials.
Under sweaters, however, it's bag-o-shirt time. |

Plus, if one has hyperhidrosis, it prevents "embarrasing wetness". Once in a while I use Certain-dri, but that stuff BURNS. |

Buy them online from one of the bulk marketing places. I got into a buy with a couple freinds and we bought a gross of t-shirts for about a buck a piece including shipping. Here's just one example:
Cheap Shirts T-shirts are t-shirts. I tear up so many of them at work and working around the yard that I treat them as almost disposable. If I get a couple dozen wearings out of one, I'm way ahead. |

I've noticed this too, and the quality has sucked recently, I have some older Jockey ones (with tags) and they are great, but the new ones (tagless screen printed on) suck. On top of that the hanes and fruit of the loom are worthless, so what is a guy to do?

These have a "Microbe Shield" to prevent staining from BACTERIA...... Uhhhh, I might be wrong, but I don't smell, so bacteria is low on the list. Isn't most staining from the actual anti-persipirant rubbing off? |

JC Penny was selling a really nice pair of khakis for like $15-20 a pair for a while. St John's Bay (thier house-brand) Retro Chino or something. Very thick, substanial pair with traditional construction so they can be easily altered by a seamstress. Almost like a pair of Bill's Khakis except made in Asia...
I think they were too good though so they stopped selling them

In a previous life I owned a t-shirt business.
Hanes Beefy-ts were the best t-shirts made to hold ink for screen printing, and they held up to wear very will also. I use to keep a few dozen white ones from each batch to wear as undershirts. Yes, I even wear undershirts under other t-shirts. Anyway, I sold the business about 9 years ago and since have twice ordered two dozen Beefy-ts online. The first order was the same old good quality shirt I had been using for years. Well, the second batch I just got about 4 months ago - they sucked. They were much smaller that the older ones, and the collers were not near the quality either. Hanes - bad move!!!  I will be back looking at the FOTL Supercotton. These, at least back in the day, were good shirts as well. You want about 6oz cotton, anything less and they will not last. ETA - $3.33 would be a fair price for a good shirt. Just imagine how many times you will wear it, I probably get 100 or so wearings out of each before they hit the trash. |

No. Actually, I don't know anyone who does IRL, since my dad died at age 80. |

There should be plenty of pre-tested undershirts in your price range at the local Goodwill, and you will be helping a good cause.

I don't know about that, but I do know they keep my pistol from rubbing on my skin and getting all sweaty. |

the only people here i know wearing under shirts are cops <for under their vests> and old cleatus that sits on the porch of his trailer wearing a wife beater.
when the mean temp is pretty much 90 degrees + 10 months out of the year, NOTHING keeps you from sweating up a shirt. |

Ah, for that I do use an undergarment. Not an undershirt usually in the classical sense though...i usually use a T shirt or else, if it's really hot, a tank top. |

They are charging that $3.33 for the shitty hanes shirts. The one-sided cotton ones with crappy collars. ETA: I wear the undershirts for the pit protection, nipple-chafe protection, and protection from looking like a 1970's Disco Reject. |

Don't use it after a shower. Put it on before bed and after a week or so, limit your applications to every 4th day or so. Unless you're alergic to it somehow, it shouldn't be burning if you apply it right. |
