I'll second Mclain. I wash my shirts, just like my jeans, when needed. Keep in mind, H's version of wait as long as possible before washing is a lot different than our (shitty) western idea of waiting as long as possible.
I wash my flannels once or twice a year. No arbitrary schedule - just based on need. It really prevents a lot of stress/wear that goes along with washing.
-
yup, wearing a flannel ~20 times with a t underneath before a wash is gross.

Got some pretty nice colthes now and want to store them and preserve them the best way possible. That starts with good hangers but which are best? I've heard untreated wooden ones are best but damned if I can find any. What hangers do you guys use? Any addresses where I can buy some good 'uns?
-
I typically condition mine with a woodchipper but my UHF broke the damn thing.

Not everyone likes to stub out cigarette butts on their clothes.

Seconded Chris….for better or for worse, the time when I used to wipe my arse with newspaper to preserve the drug fund is long gone. I buy nice....I want it to stay nice. I don't smalze around wearing a skirt and full make-up (though I have absolutely nothing against it...I lived in Brighton for 6 years, if that sort of thing bothers you, you move). I just like to keep my gear fresh. Like my mountain bike. I suppose you guys don't wash those either after a muddy ride and end up fucking up the transmission, cos that's what real men do? Macho smachoe bullshit imho
@Ohighyo: the fact that we all happily throw down 300 bucks on a pair of jeans goes some way to proving we're all a bunch of primadonnas. Some of us assume it better than others I suppose

Don't worry mate….I'm in a perpetual state of confusion. Basically, I can't be doing with jumping on a dirty old push-iron whilst donning my favourite tutu and my IHSH-21...That shit just ain't right. I don't mind the odd blob of mayo or baby sick on my wears but I draw the line at gratuitous filth.
But I digress...what feckin hangers are best? And where can I get some? -
@bertoni. Not sure what you're trying to get at with that post, bud. You like your mountain bike clean? Does that mean you like your shirts clean? And what about cross dressers?…... I'm really confused.
@bertoni's post is probably the most confusing post I've read on here all year. Very well done making such wide ranging statements in such a short period of space ::)

As a person with a scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, well-done thinker, I appreciate the hot air balloonness of the aforementioned Cheerio JamesJoycian discourse.

Thanks Davito!
(Was that short and clear enough?)Sigh I regret the abstract nonsensical yet somewhat astute exchanges of Geo's epoque.
Without really wanting to, i'll try and clarify my ramblings. Ohighyo was suggesting that caring for our clothes was in some way feminine. I was simply trying to remind him that if he was so carefree and "manly", what's he doing throwing down 300 bucks on a pair of jeans and hanging around forums talking about it? Just roll around in mud and cigarette ash in the fuckers and leave it at that no?
