A couple of years ago my wife bought a pair for my kid and got a pair for me too...I just wear them when I am going to the beach near my house or going with my kid for a bike ride. They are comfy and easy for just kicking around the neighborhood.

But don't get me wrong...I do realize they are ugly as sin and I am now only one step away from jeans with an elastic waistband and a fanny pack.

Very easy - it literally takes all of 2 seconds. They're fairly cheap on ebay - I suggest you buy a pair and join the club:

Am I the only one who keeps their cufflinks in their shirts after wear? That'll take care of the whole inconvenience of double-sided links.

Honestly, they look nice in an old fashioned way - I get compliments on mine all the time. I hate shiny new cufflinks in cutesy designs (all of which are...toggle-backed!).

Why don't you buy just one pair for $10-$15, give it a whirl and see if you like it.

Yes. Other people launder their shirts.

People are looking. I tell them the same thing. Do not read this otherwise as an endorsement.

It's OK - you can speak freely here. This thread is open to you. You know that stinky sweaty shirts are "inferior" but you still prefer them. Noted. How do you feel about underwear? Keep it coming... we're all friends here.
