Razorburn is less attractive than chest hair... JMO. A girl talked me in to letting her wax my chest when I was younger and in college... I bet I had 50 ingrown hairs after that. I do trim it to keep it under control though.

Undershirts are for undergrads bruh



What would you call caring about what another man wears on his body? I don't even wear undershirts all the time, but shite, I can't understand how this matters to a grown man.

I wear one under all my button downs and polos unless it's a performance type shirt like a golf polo type shirt. It helps prolong the life of the shirt keeping sweat and deodorant off it. When I was growing up everyone did this and we joked on guys who didn't and wore v-neck Ts, but now it seems this is becoming popular so just do whatever you want.

True... flat brim hats seem to be popular... if you wanna be a douche... go for it.

I have a very bright blue flat brim hat. I mostly wear it because it embarrasses my kids!

Same here.

And furthermore, when I wear a golf shirt without an undershirt I bring the funk. I usually lose the undershirt when playing golf, but otherwise I wear one.

They did that to the 2012 national championship hats. Those hats were the ugliest hats I've ever seen. Prob why you could get one at dicks for less than ten bucks soon after. The worser of the two was the flat billed pleather one. Who would wear that?

The popularity of the flat brim hat cracks me up... it started with rappers in the late 80's early 90's cause cheap frickers were buying hats, leaving the tags on, and then returning them... or stealing them and then returning them for money.... this somehow developed into a fad and women became attracted to it...

I never wear an undershirt. Not under a polo. Not under a dress shirt. If you want to, that's your own prerogative, but I think it's unnecessary and sloppy. Just my opinion. But seriously fellas, do what you want.

Same here. I even have a few black ones I were under black polos or other dark button downs so the stark white doesn't show.

, you must be young... just about all hats used to be flat brimmed.. you had to wear it and break it in to get the curve... I remember my cousins teaching me to take rubber bands and wrap around the bill and let the hat sit for a few days to get the curve... Then alot of people started coming out with a more flexible brim... about the same time thugs took off with the flat brim theme.

ETA: Although I wear my hat cause I do like it and it keeps the sun out of my eyes.. i never really view it as clothing accessory... I.E. I don't have a hat to match every shirt I own... I have a hat... and I wear it until I deem I need a new hat.

The smell of that material reminds me of my high-school football jersey. Once you get real sweaty in it, it retains a bit of "essence" that it keeps for life.

I wear undershirts every day, even with t-shirts. Is that not what they're for? Going under a shirt?

maybe a dress shirt


This is the most correct answer there is. I used to wear undershirts under my Polos and button downs back when I was in high school. I now realize I was a tool.

People perspire differently, it's a judgement call on your body.

I'm not old yet, but I remember doin all that. They even sold clamps for hats that would put the curve into it. The natl champ hats were made to be worn flat billed though. They have a really short front bill that pretty much makes them impossible to wear like a normal hat.
