Another lesson I learned many years back: Cut out the liner in you swim truncks.
If you wear these for any length of time (like on a river trip) you will really appreciate the difference.

Do you wait until the label starts to abrade, _then_ turn them inside-
out?
You'd only have to wash them half as much, so it's good for the
environment! %-}
Thanks,

Might depend on what river it is.

Well, I just got off the Colorado in the Grand Canyon and it comes out of Glenn Canyon Dam at 48 Deg F or so. Of course the air
temp was 122 F for most of the day. That makes it kind of refreshing when you get hit by a wave.

Being still sunburned and mildly bruised from a couple of hours on the
Truckee River, I agree.

I always wear manly briefs, but Mo does refer to them as "panties."

What Fruit Of The Loom I have left is all missing tags. That's the way to
go. They're not stitched on very hard or anything.
...Wait, what the hell kind of guy still wears briefs? Oh.. it IS an
engineering group. Fair enough. :-p

My recent batch of T-shirts have the "label" printed directly on the
fabric, no "feel" to it whatsoever.

Still there after many washings. I don't know how they do it, but
it's small print, with sharp edges.
I know, I had one on yesterday. But there seem to be almost digital
differences in quality with T-shirts. There is often hardly any
correlation between quality and price as there is with dress shirts.

I have ONE white shirt with long sleeves... reserved for weddings and
funerals ;-)
Don't remind me. Two memorial services this week, one probably next
week. All dear friends of ours, one of them didn't even make 67 :-(
The ones that don't want to hang around flappin' in the breeze?
Thanks,
Rich
Well Hell. That throws off the entire inside-outside-front-back
calculus. :(
I remember reading once in Dr. Gott's column...
Old guy writes in, complaining of saggy testicles.
Doc suggests wearing briefs for support.
Does that make briefs the man's brassiere?
Cheers!
Rich
And this would be some kind of foundation garment?

That sounds very European, washing your undies weekly. My body and my
clothes get washed daily. Long, hot showers are the place where I get
my best design ideas. The water and gas bills are high, but worth it.
John
Don't remind ME... I'm almost exactly 6 months from the big 7-0 :-(
On a similar note, I discovered the other day my new Nike gym tank top has a
label on it that says "Made in AUSTRALIA".
I was gobsmacked...

Australia has a label factory?
I'm as amazed as you are!
Or a ballsiere.
Its a skull cap for Rich.

All of mine are that way, so i checked the label, Hanes.
Oh, well. They always said that 'Gentlemen prefer Hanes'. I'll bet
they never thought that engineers would wear them, too. ;-)

Yeah, until you found a problem with their design. Then you feel
like you are in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. ;-)
